abonds, of all persons found engaged in these sports,
by virtue of which three of the officers, namely, tPree-

' hues were easily rendered tractable. Their keepers,
Ii order to facilitate escape, commenced putting out the
'gilds. The officeri, not suspecting that there was any
mans of eseepexcept by the Stairs, resolved to guard
that quarter, for which purpose one of them stood sentry
there, and the other two commenced capturing and
handcuffing the parties. Josephs was the first secured
and Hart, who contrived to make his escape, was after-
wards detected in the water-butt, nearly up to his chin in
water, and was • linked to his companion. While this
part of the ceremony was being executed, the rest of the
company‘being well acquainted with the situation of
the premises, burst up the cellarfiaps, and by that
means ascended into the street and escaped, followed by
their dogs. The officers having been informed that,
after the dog-fights were over, a bear was generally in-I
.troduced on the stage, they resolved to discover the.
poor animal, and after searching some time found the
unfortunute Bruin chained and muzzled, in a wooden te-
nement built for his accommodatioo, and they conveyed
him, together with Hart, his master, and Josephs, to the
wateh-house, from whence they were taken (with the
exception of Bruin) before 31. Wyatt and J. Hardwick,
Esqrs. the Sitting Magistrates.
Hart was committed to hard labour for two months in
the House of Correction, and Josephs was ordered to
ive 34 hours notice of bail.
