FOOT RACING.

A curious examination took 'dace at Marlbo.
rougti.street Police Office yesterday, in consequence
of a charge made by a Mr. Jong against Nice
other persons. About a fortnight ago a foot-rate
fur one hundred guineas was run between a pellet,
of the name of Jones and another person of the
name of Pollard, twenty miles, on Epsom Duwni,
which was won by Pollard. It was stated by the
Prosecutor, that Junes, the runner, had come to
London from Lancashire, and had challenged, by
public advertisement, to run any man in England
twenty miles, and that Mr. IValker, one of the
Defendants, had accepted the challenge to find a
man, within a given time. Pollard, who is one
of the best twenty.mile runners in England, was
sent for from Manchester, and lie won the match
easily, and could give his adversary five miles in
twenty. Jones, the runner, whu Was also um, of
the Defendants, had represented to Mr. Jones, his
backer, that he could beat any man, and on his
ipse dinit the Prosecutor had staked a share of
Jones's money, amounting to about 3501. in the
hands of a third Defendant, a Mr. Nelson. It
was urged by.the Prosecutor, that
,by artifice ho
bad been prevailed on to back his namesake, by
the parties on tile opposite side. it turned out,
however, that the race was fairly conducted, and
that so far from collusion, Pollard could give his
adversary the odds before stated. Mr. Adolphus
attended fur Jones, the Prosecutor, and Mr. Al-
ley for the Defend lilts. The latter condemned, ha
strlng terns, the conduct of the Prosecutor, wise,
he said, having lost his money, had attempted to
institute something to intimidate the Defendants to
return it. The Learnel Counsel rt commended a
prosecution against the Prosecu or, at the suit of
the throe Defendants, for false imprisonment. The
Magistrate coincided with Mr. A ILI, and thought
Mr. Junta bad no ground of complaint.

Yesterday a severe battle was fought in Fivc..
fields, Chelsea, between a boatman known on the
river by the name of Smart Jemmy, and a stout
coal heaver named ifillis, fur ten guineas abide.—
Willis was the favourite at starting, and continued
so fur upwards of half an hour—at the end of
that time, however, he received a blow under the
throat tip, which laid him senseless—he continued
in that state some time, and on his recovery de..
dined the contest.

Sir James Pulteney's house in Piccadilly, at the
corner of Bolton-row, was attempted to be robbed

and a woman ascended on the wall, on the side of
Bolton-street, and atiempted to get at the first
floor wiadow. This alarmed Mrs. Brown, the
housekeeper, who, on perceiving them, sprang a
rattle, when the villains rar off before the watch.
men arrived.
