BoxY/3.—A busy fight took place en Friday on Beeson Green,
near Jackass Common, between Grare Chrieorf, a farmer, and
Calvert, a yeoman also. It was for 20 guineas aside, and another
stake of a richer quality—who should enjoy the charms of a
handsome young landlady. They were rival lovers, which caused
tbis combat, and both had a slice of science. Four good routids
were fought ; but in the fifth, Coalsead had his head chanceried
so, that he reeled about as it he had taken a quart of blue ruin.
He was at last knocked down by a body-blow, which decided
the fight in favour of Calvert.
