REAIARKS.
• Richmond had much to do in the early part of the
battle, and although his mode of cautious fighting did
ant altcrd a very high treat to the greater part of the
ring, he won cleverly. Ilis right hand was always
in action, and did its usual execution, and he won
gallantly. Ile is now 62, and he publicly declared
in the ring his intention to decline fighting. Shelton
is only a left.handed fiAter, but he had the best of
its.fighting in general, and his mode of following was
much against him. Ile is much injured about the
head, and Richmond has also received considerable
punishment.
A second battle, of nearly two hours' duration,
took plate betwixt Johnson, a Paddingtonian, smut
Purcell, a smith, for a stake of 20 guineas. These
man, although not first raters, fought a determined
battle, which was won with much difficulty by John-
son. Joe Ward and 'l'. Jones seconded the winner,
and Cribb and Oliver the loser. Purcell was much
injured in the body, and Johnson about the head.—
Both were put to bed and bled. All covered them.
selves with glory.

INSOLVENT DE.BTORS' COURT.

-..40L-

Mr. Serjeant RuvNINGTOM WWI yesterday occupied
in hearing a number of cases of Prisoners, u hose li-
beration under the Insolvency Act, was opposed by
their creditors.

The first case was that of Mr. Wilkinson, whose
discharge was opposed by Mr. Por.Loca, the bar.
rister, upon the ground of an error in the Prisoner's
fists of debts, as returned by schedule to the Court.
The Learned Counsel stated,' that dealings to a con.
siderable amount had taken place between his Client,
Mr. Hughes, and the Prisoner, from which, as he
was instructed, a balance of nearly 4001. was due
by the latter. All he desired was, that both the
debit and credit of this account should be distinctly
laid down, that Mr. Hughes may he enabled here-
after, on proving his debt before the assignees, to
claim under the assets of the e..tate.

Mr. Hearn, for the Prisoner, objected to any
delay for this purpose, as he was fully prepared to
show that the blance stated in the schedule was
correct. The accounts would at once verify dlis
fact.
The Learned SERJEANT directed that the schedule
should he amended ; it might be done in Court.
The Prisoner was then examined by Mr. Pollock,
relative to som . handsome furniture in his house at
Wandsworth. lie denied that he had any interest in
ais property, it had • been presented to his wife by
some of her near relatives, in conjunction with his
cousin—it was secured to her and the children by a
deed which was now in the hands of a Solicitor in
Red Lion-square. The deed was sent for at the
suggestion of the Court, and after some controversy
between the Counsel the case was adjourned.
The discharge of Robert Singleton was opposed
by Mr. SPANKEY, on account of the Prisoner's
fraud. The Prisoner wee stated to 'be a Sheriff'
officer, who had, through in•rne neglect, caused a
deb• to be incurred by his employer, which the pro.
wr discharge of his duty would have prevented. The
Lea ned Counsel entered Into several ingenious ar-
gument, to show that this conduct came within the
clause of the Act, which prevented the discharge of a
fraudulent debtor.
Mr. PeiNce SUITII, On Om part of the Prisoner,
maintained a conttory opinion, in which the Court
concurred, and the Prisoner was discharged.
The Learned Serjeant continued until six o'clock
going through a list of nearly 40 insolvent cases,
which were mostly opposed, although they sere
quite of a trivial and uttimportant Character.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AOG,I.
MORAND 0. BYRNE AND Amornta.

._.__
Mr. HART yesterday begged leave to interrupt the
hearing of the bankrupt Petitiuns, in order to apply
to the Court for permission to move, on a future
day, that the Editor and Publisher of the Newspaper
called the Morning Post, should stand committed
for a libel. The libel in question was contained in
!Is article which had appeared in that day's publica-
Hon, and purported to be a report of the proceed-
ings of that Court in a case heard the preceding day,
and in which' a gentleman named hlorand was one
of the parties. In this report Mr. Morand was re-
1, presented as having embarked in a commercial spe-
culation to which he had contributed a capital of
5001. in addition to en aggregate fund advanced by
the co-partnership of 30,0001. He was farther stated
to have drawn out oo his own account a sum of
15,0001. and on the failure of the speculation, to
have absconded and emigrated to America. No cir-
comstances of this nature bad appeared in the course
of the suit, nor had they any sort of foundation in
fact. He trusted, therefore, that where the charac-
ter of a suitor in that Court was thus grossly and un-
justly calumniated, his Lordship would find no dif-
ficulty in allowing him to make his motion on the
first open day.
The lotto CHANCELLOR instantly aiiented, and
that day se'uuight wes Cited for hearing the motion.

DESPERATE OUTRAGE.

I Qv rEIf•SQUA a Newman, s; constable belong-
,/ inx to the parish of St. Martin, charted James Hayes
and Daniel Murphy, two of the Covent-garden
watchmen, with assaulting him, under aggravating
circumstances, on Saturday week. On the evening
of that day, Newman was passing along the Strand,
awl his attention was attracted by several watchmen
' standing before the Swan wine vaults. At this mo-
ment a )(mete man came out of the Swats, and all the
watchm,.n began to beat him most severely, ap-
parent!) without any provocation. Newman inter.
fert.d, and complained of such conduct, and in con.
, sequence of such interference, the watchmen, parti-
cularly the Prisoners, turned their vengeance upon
, him, and beat him dreadfully. Not' satisfied with
this proceeding, the Prisoners again attacked New-
man, in Southampton-street ; and possibly he owed '
his life to the interference of two other constables
who rescued him. They evaded the execution of the
I warrant, but the watch-house-keeper at last brought
the parties forward. The only provocttion they had
received in the Strand was the remark of some one
in the Swan, when the watchmen were there drink-
ing, that it would be better for them to attend to
their duty. They mistook the young man for the
person that made such remark, and beat him so as to ,
confine him to his bed.
Mr. CoLouttoust said the .assault was most gross
and outrageous, and that he should commit them to
trial for it; but as the parties could ilratiord to lose
-time or to bear espences at the Sessions, he recom-
mended the Pti.oners to make the Constable a com-
pensation and apology.
