battle. Randal returned thanks nearly as follows :
• Gentlemen, could I use my tongue as wall as my hands.
could not return sufficient thanks fnr the many kindnesses
1 have received ; bet honesty as a pugilist has insured m
victory over many a brave competitor, out of it, I Bra proud
to say, I possess a grateful heart; and at any time. Cient.e-
men, should I again be placed in the ring (which lA the
farthest from my wish), I shall endeavour to prove that lire)
of conduct which has hitherto insured ma your favour."
