THE LATE GREAT FIGHT.
!MATE'S STATEMENT AND eta .... TO lEDIRT AGAIN.
At the close of the Sparring matches, at the Tennis Court.
on Tuesday, Neste came forward and addressed the com-
pany :—TA. issue of theist* battle had been most unfortu-
nate to him as the loser—but neither that, nor the loss of
his mosey, gave Mm half so much uneasiness as the loss
of his fried who backed him. The doubts which hail
been thrown oat, about his having sustained the accident
which lost him the battle, were both cruel and unjust. lIA
defied any man to seems him of a mean action ; he was
never guilty of one in the course of his life ; sod, in order
to convince his friends of the real state of the ease, he hails
been to Mr. Cline, one of the most famous surgeons in
London ; that Gentleman, after examining his arm, declared
that it wis broken, and had kindly given him a certificate,
under his hand, which he would read. Hs then read the fol-
lowing :
" I have esamised Neate's arm, and find that the bone
called the " radios; Is broken.
" May 27. ISIS. " HLxiT CLINE."
The certificate was then handed ronnd to several Gentle-
men, who expressed themselves satisfied of its authenticity.
Neat* then eontineed—lt was in the third round that the
sccideat happened, not by a fall, but in committee" of his
arm going against one of the stakes, when he was strikinc.
From the swelling that instantly followed, be foetid
,it was •
seriously Injured, and told Belcher he thought it was broke,
which 'Ns Immediately communicated to Mr. Jackson, and
also to a Gentlemen from Oxford, of the name of Sadler.—
He found, on afterwards attempting to strike out. that his
urm dropped, and every blow fell short. He struck Spring
over the right eye in the next round, but the blow was na-'
thing. In elosiog in the following rounds his right arm was
useless, and he had no chance of exerting ►ls strength. In
the last toned he felt the ends of the bone grinding together
when he fell, which then convinced him that the arm was
broken, and he was sure no man would say that in that con-
ditioe be ought not to have resigned the contest. All he now
had to say was, that so satisfied did he feel of b ing able to
beat Siring, that he was ready to light him again the mo-
ment his arm was well; and he would back himself by put-
ting does 200/. of his own money. •
117 CATE CP iLLENGEO ax Hcosow.—At the conension of
the Sparring at the Fives Court, Hudson offered to fight
Neste for lOW. or 160/. ; and if that did naafi& he shotild
like to have a slap et the Pope, although ha meant no offence
to the Claw !—(l.anghter.) Spring ascended the stage
amidst thunders of applause, and iotbrined the audience if
his hand had not received an injury in hie recent battle with
Neste he should have set-to. Every one considered that
Neate stood no chance with him from the beginning of the
fight.

Mr. HEALD stated that this was the case of a
‘‘ ho had married a Ward of the Newt, and heap

his Loedship for liberty to refer to the Muter to approvel
i•f a uttleasent on the lady. • The Court had been oftipt-1
Ilion. when this cue first came before it, that the
Milieu be done was to secure a property for the
of the lady. The lady had married a person named Cl
ridge a shoemaker, and a bill had been filed, the object
of which was to compel Flood to account for certain rents
and profits arising out of houses which were the Ferre-
ty of the lady. The lady's hinds had now tow toes

other receiver. It appeared the lady had been married
at the age of seventeen, which was the reason his Lord-
ship referred the case to the Attorney-tieneral. The
protection of the lady's property was the great point in
question.
Alr. Haar bad no objection to this proceedings ass
that the Master should approve of a settlement on die
Jady.
His Lordship said, that under any circumstances is
could not permit the husband to have contronl over the
fortune of the lady. The husband having sworn at ten
o'clock in the morning that his wife was not seventua
years old, and bariog again sworn on the evening of the
same day that she was twenty-one years of age. it was
impossible that a Court ofJustice could overlook the cir-
cumstances% He weuld therefore say that such a husband
should never have,osse farthing of the lady's property in
his power.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Mar 29.
• pit LISSAK 0. PRAM
This was an action on a policy of Insurance on ods,
on bunt the Nancy, at and from Rio Janeiro to, Lima;
loss averred to'be by' capture.
The plaintiff's raw was cooduted by Mr. Scutarrt.
Mr. throttler, and Mr. Ttranak and the defendant's by
Jilt. MARRTAT. Mr. PULLER, anti Mr. CAMPBELL.
The plaintiff *situ usercliant,at Rio, Jimmie., and in
October, 199 D,, of .oveollens and other
English manufactures to tlami*utt of about 40,0001. on
•hoard the Nancy, for • Linia. gave instructions to his
agent in this coo atryto .effectiosataasoe.: The defendant,
an underwriter at LJoyd's, subscribed the policy for 10001
at a premium of five guineas per cut. The TOSS/1 ar-
rived at Pisca, on the Pacific, on the stb January, 1821.
where the Captain was informed that the coast of Pent,
was in a' state of blockade by the Patriotic fleet cow:
mended by Admiral Lord Cochrane. He dispatched a
messenger to• the consignees at Lima, sotto advised him
of the danger be was stiy_ and recommended him to quit
Pius. and sail for some other port for safety, until the
vessel conid.proceed on her destination. After a tedious
passage, the vessel arrived in March at St. Bias, where
an attempt was made to find a market for the cargo, but
the mode being adapted for a cooler climate, no sales
could be effected. The Captain then, determined, at all
hazards, to return to Rio Janeiro, and in his pusar
thither, in consequence of a fog, be by mistake oat in-
to Pisca, then in possession of the Patriotic party. He.
was immediately seized, thrown into prison. and the ship'
and her cargo condemned in the'Admiralty Court ay'
Spanish property under the colour of the English tag:
Fur the loss thus *ustailled, the present action Wall
brought upon the policy underwritten by the defendant.
The defence set ep was, first, concralteent from the,
noder•writers as to tire real character of the goods.
which it was said. were not English but Spaaish; seeped.
a deviation in going to St. Bias ; third, negligence on the,
part of the Captain in going into Pius with a knowledge
of the danger be mast encounter, and whereby the pro-
oerty was condemned ; and, fourth, unreasonable delay in
the pursuit of his voyage.
The Lon, CHIEF JUSTICE intimated his opinion that
the plaintiff could not recover. If the Jury thought there
lead bees unreasonable delay, or any *ant of caution on-
the part of the Captain, in not taking steps to avoid the
danger into which he fell by going to Pisca, under there
circumstances of the case, the action was clearly not
maintainable.
The Jory seemed inclined to decide in favour of the
Learned Judge'antling, and Mr. SCABLETT elected to be
nonsuited.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, NAT 29.

HODINION V. %MTGS..
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated, this warts action on
the warranty of a horse. The horse bad been the pro-
perty of a gentleman of fortune, residing near Peterbo-
rough, from whom the defendant purchased it ahont the
end of February last; in the commencement of theen.
suing month, the plaintiff purchased the horie from the
defendant, under a warranty, at the price of fifty guinea.
The horse had been rode gent!, once er twice, and in a
very short time proved. to be completely unsound,
having an ossification in the fetlock joint of the off
fore leg.
The purchase and warranty were proved.
Mr. Sewell—l saw the horse on the 24th March last,
and on examining the outer branch of the susoensary li-
gament of the off fore leg, near the fetlock joint, I ob-
served a callosity formed ; this is a consequence of pre-
vious inflammation; if the injury were recent, there
would be a general fullness and beat in the whole joint;
this was a chronic diseased joint; the horse was in the
same state last week as in March; when the disease is
not very extensive, rest would mike it appear better, but
on the first exertion is carrying weight, the horse would
go lame vain. This disease must have existed before
Mr. Rodgson purchased the horse.
Cross-examined—l saw the horse about ten days after
the purchase, and again last week. Horses are very lia-
ble to injuries in that part by a twist of the foot; still,
however, I think the horse was diseased in that joint
before the Bth ; if the hope bad been led op from Peter-
borough without any weight on his back, the part would
not have been more inured; a little gentle • exercise,
without carrying weight, is often beneficial to a horse.
Mr. Sergeant PELL addressed the Jury for the de.
fondant.
Three witnesses proved that they had ridden the horse
before the purchase by the plaintiff, end that be then
appeared perfectly lona
Mr. Edward eiilemsn, Professor to the Veterinary
College, was then caned aid said, I first saw tiodborse
on last Monday; I found the off fore leg enlarged oa
the outside of the fetlock joint; the enlargement is a
increased ossification of that bone extending a little wa
up thelogament. It is so obvious, that any person the
least acquainted with horses roust perceive it; it fs im-
possible to say how long it has existed ; it might have
existed for years, but oo the facts sworn t s this day, I
think it could not lisp existed when the horse was
purchased ; the man who shod the horse might nut have
perceived the injnry, though the inanimation might
then have been in existence, as the sulifits attend to no-
thing bat merely putting on the shoe.

that the. indow. of. tbe bar, which by;mistake was -left
unfastened, had been opened, and that the till,,whieb
was left in the room the preceding night io error, bad
been robbed of gold and silver to the amount of nearly
six pounds. Suspicion fell on the prisoner, and an oG
Beer on searching a waistcoat which gad had immedi-
ately before thrown of 4 found a small Hoes bag, in
which was the greater part of the property. The pri-
tomer confeued having committed the offence, and plead-
ed intoxication as an excuse for his misconduct. 'These
facts were duly proved, and the Jury returned • a Verdict
of Gailig.
Mrs. Strudwicke recommended the prisoner, who ap-
peared extremely penitent, to the merciful consideratirro
of the Court, he baring been a long time out of cm
ploy, and having a wjfe and two children totally depend.
eat on him for support.
The CHAIRMAN under the impression that the priso-
ner was not inured to crime, and that he was realty is
distress at the time of the robbery, sentenced him to
the mitigated punishment of three month, imprison-
meet in Brixton House of Correction. and to be kept at
hard labour.
James Johnson was indicted for obtaining by false
pretences from William Williams eight shillings, and
various articles of clothing.
Mr. Tnestovt, as Counsel for the prosecution, said
the prisoner bad an iggenions mode of procuring money
and goods from different people about town—the way
be effected his scheme was, by learning the umes and
connections of the prisoners confined in the House of
Correction, at Brixton he would then !co to some of
their friend., and represent that be bad lust been dis-
charged from the prison, and was the bearer of a letter
Rum some person in confinement, praying for assistance.
The plan was carried on with such judicious manage-
ment, that the prisoner seldom or ever failed of obtaining
eithEr money or goods, and in the present instance be
WAS successful in procuring both.
William Williams, the prosecutor, stated that be was
a coal and a potato ;leiter, at No. 3, Bermoodsey-square.
On the 30th of April last, the prisoner went to his
home, and said bit dame was Jones, and had . that day
been liberated from Brixton, and had brought a leVer
for him from Michael Lemao, a man with whom Wil-
Hams was formerly acquainted. [The letter was reed—
it
.purported to he signed by Leman. who is actually a
pnioner, and stated that he was suffering the great&
hardships and privations in the prison, and had it mit
been for the kindness gag attention of the bearer, the.
,prisoner, who bad parted wit:. his last alipag for his
tilkEhe believed he shoolci never have heir able to have
eitnived his troubles. Jones (he said), had been dis-
'charged from the prison in the greatest (Ramis, and he
'Wrested Mr. Williams on the recollection of the former
intimate friendship which bad existed between thew, to
give bum some few shillings on his account, and also
to seed him (Leman), a shirt, and some other wearing
apparel, which he was much in want of.
The prisoner having ao Counsel, the Chairman examined
dhilreeord on his behalf, sod it appearing that there were
some technical informalities, in the mode of setting out the
letter, the Court decided that those differences were fatal to
the indictment, and directed the Jury to acquit **prisoner,
miliclithey instantly .did.
The same prisoner was placed at the barrows similar
jehargeof defranding Wm. Black of 9s. sad s questity of
wearing appirel. •
In support of this indictment Wm. Black the younger,
who is a convicted felon, was brought into Court by a Writ
of Habeas Corpus, to prove that the letter by which the
fraud bad been effected was not written to his Other, with
bit concurrence or'flcaowledge ; but the Coat, acting as
pommel for the prisoner, decided that as Black the younger
'Watt still tainted with felony, his evidence could not be ad-
afissible in a Court of Justice, Oki the prisoner waft there-
fore acquitted on this charge also, He was, however, de-
tained and sent hack to Union Hall, and there examined be-
fore L. B. Allen, Esq. for another offence of the same kind,
And remanded to a future day to give time to complete the
,evidence to be brought against him.
Henry Eraes and James Kitson were charged with steal-
=Lour pair of sheets, several pair of shoes, and various
articles belonging to Henry Evans, the father of the
}dieser Evans.
The prosecutor, who is a poor shoemaker, living In Wei-
worth, stated that his son lived in the same house with him,
and that, unfortunately, he had got acquainted with a set of
disorderly young men, since which his titbits had bees most
Irregular ant distressing. For some time past his house
bad been continually pilfered of small articles, and one
fright, towards the end of April, the street door having been
left unfastened for the boy to come in, he took that oppor-
tunity while his mother and father were in bed, to carry of
nearly the whole of their stock of linen, and several pair of
shoes, which Kitson, who was waiting on the outside, re-
wired, and conveyed away. They were accused of the
theft the next day, and both of them, :Ao far from denying it,
boasted in having frequently robbed their friends before;
and threatened, in a very determined manner, to do the per-
son who spoke to them a serious injury, If he did not desist
from troubling himself about them.
The father of Evans was the principal "vitae'', and in
him there appeared a strong disposition to conceal the me-
lancholy facts which would confirm his sou's guilt; so much
so that the Chairman was compelled to tell him that painful
as his situation must be, he was bound to the country to re-
late all he knew of the transaction, and if he persisted in
withholding the truths, the Court would be under the neces-
sity of committing him to prison. The case having bean
made clear against the prisoners, the Jury found them
Guilty, and they were each sentenced to seven years trans-
portation; both of them being known and before punished as
incorrigible thieves.
