BOZING.—On Wednesday last a piteked battle, fur
IN. a side, was fought near the spirt when the late
battle between Painter and Miter Iris contested, at
North Waisham, between Le Neve, of North Weigher,
and King, who resides in the nsighbenrhood. It was
fought in a twenty four foot ring, and a fair stand np
fight, (minute tine•). Painter ■nd Hall seconded ti.e
former, and K►ing's brdtber sad a stranger seconded ae
latter.

Ist. The moment they went to stork they rrpeared
determined to do mischief. King receive.' a hit on Lis
left ogle. and went down like a shot.
Both went to it with determination, lint King re-
ceived it again in his left lietaser—the claret dew
profusely, and King again went down. 2 to 1 on Le
Sere.
3d. King's head now appeared in chancery. Le
Nett faced him like a man, and hit him down like a
stint.

4th. Fighting apparently had quite left King; I.e
wanted then to Login hadistringing, but Painter called
out foul, foul, and again be ?eve bit him down with a
Wow under Lis left lug.
Painter intimated in Kin,, that if he ennentird
to fight foul he 'boob! forfeit Its nosey, as it was to
be a fair stand up fight. They then wettt to work WI
grand style, and both seemed intl., wham s, sit hire
gut the worst of it, and was hit Mattel to death—his
head appearing one mass of Wind. Painter now ap-
pealed to King's seconds, and requested them to take
their man away, unless they wished to have him killed.
From this round to the sixteenth King merely gut op
to receive punishment front his advpr•ary, and wpm
down every time like a stone. fie 'hewed to the last a
great deal of tottom, but had not the least chance from
the commencement.
