Bakeo,.,
The fight was commenced by an exchange of hits Oil
a close, in which both were down: The Baker drew*
first blood, by a blow on the mouth of his adver-
sary. In the four following rounds the fighting was
nearly equal, but the Baker; although inferior in
height and length, seemed to be the most determined
hitter, and the odds; 'Which were silt to font on
Moss at setting to,. were six to font against
Some good punishing wale:changed in these rounds,
and Moss continued to bleed copiously from the
mouth and nose by the left-handed Mows of his atm
versary, about the tip of the *MIA. Betting on*
the Bth round was in favour of tile Baker vbspAti
the 9th round, Moss seemed to have got the betOr
of momentary diitress, and he" knocked down kis
adversary by a blow on the side of the head, WhICIt
produced what is technically named claret from the
ears, and had the effect of turning the odds agate in
the striker's favour. Moss 'elated this success
fought manfully for half an houlyaii he was as'
courageously opposed. • The Pntker made some good
stops of his adversary's left hand, bat he sustained
many hard blows from the right. The Baker planted
many good right handed body blows, and the fight
*as maintained' with much determined resolution,
bet the Baker's head was much disfigured by a repe-
tition of blows with the left band, although not vio-
;lent. Betting continued for * long time two and'
-three to one on Moss, and it was expected every '
round would be the last. Moss had forced up:the
knuckles of his right band, and in the S4th.roiirid
die Baker get the favonrite 'again at slightedds.—,
.After fighting cue hour and a quarter, Moss was
'beat, but lie rode off on horseback, and the Baker
*is the most mashed.

We understand that the funeral which, on Thursday,
attracted so much notice in Tottenham Court-road,
and its vicinity, on its way to St. James's Chapel,
was that of the celebrated THOMAS SPENCE. A man
s hose singularities we have heard much of, and whale
political notions, which, though liable, perhapsii.to
many solid objections, showed him to be a decided
foe to aristocratic sway and exclusive privilege ;—for
' a man in a humble sphere, perhaps, no one has shown
' himself so conspicuous ; •there were many traits in
his public and private life which were truly praise-
worthy ; and the manlyiand undaunted manner in
which, some years ago, be personally contiumed his
defence in the Court of King's Beach, against a
charge of sedition, is calculated to make a strong and
lasting impression. Ile was followed to his grave by
a numerous train of friends and political admirers,
one of whom delivered an appropriate funeral oration
on the occasion. There were numerous medallions
distributed among the multitude, but what principally
attracted attention, was a pair of scales, which pre-
ceded the corpse on its way, and which was under-
stood as emblematic of thejnatice of his plan.
ROSICAY AT VAQIIIALfr.BRIDGE.—For sometime
past roberies to a great extent have been committed
on the property. of Messrs. Joliffe and Banks, the
contractors • and in consequence of ioformation
they refeived, that a great number of deals had been
put down a cellar belonging to ogle Davis, a chimney-
sweeper,. in Strand-lane, for several mornings, be-
tween the hoots of one and four, application erns
made to Bow-street, and a search-warrant granted.
George Itutven, the Constable, found 21 deals con-
cealed behind a large soot-cloth and nine sacks, five
marked Sharp, Guildford ; one, Galley, Kingston ;
one, Thos. Tuck, Edmonton; and two, J. Lyon and
Sons. Davis was accordingly apprehended i.and on his
examination before the Magistrate, he said that the deals
and sacks were not his, and had been put down the cel-
lar without his knowledge. In the course of the na-
-1
minatiou it came out, that one Davie, a fishmonger,
had been in the habit of selling deals and planks to
his namesake the sweep; and on his being taken into
lcustody and examined, he confessed that he had en
the preceding Sunday sold the sweep a plank, which
was produced and sworn to be the contractors, for ss.
worth 12s. or 141. The fishmonger at first said that
he picked up the plank by London-bridge, two or
three nights after the fire; but afterwards admitted,
that lie had it of a waterman whom he named. The
sweep is building two houses at Hampstead, and the
inhabitants of Strand-lane have remarked, that the
deals which have been put down his cellar never re-
mained there above a day or two, as thertnere uni-
formly removed at a late hour at night. soot-
cart. The two Devises were committed fm further
examination.
Last week died, in Gray's Alms House, Taunton,
Hannah Murton, aged N. The deceased was a
maiden Lady, who, with a delicate prejudice peculiar'
to that resolute portion of the fair sex to which she
belonged, vowed, several years ago, that no he fel-
low should ever teach her, living or dead. In pur.l
suance of this notable resolution, aboat ten years
since, she purchased for herself acolfin, in which,
whenever she felt serious illness,- she immediately
deposited herself ; thus abridging, in case of her dis-
solution, the labours of those sable mimics—the Un-
dertakers, and ensuring the gratification of her pecu-
liar sensibility. The old Lady's coffin was not, how-
ever, exclusively appropriated to the reception of her
mortal remains, bat served also as her waritrobe, and
the usual depository Of her bread and cheese.

said, that Mr. Herne bad formerly sworn that the
hunter which he had caused to be shot was at the
time oldi vicious, and diseased, and that it was de-
stroyed to prevent an old favourite from becoming
food for houndi. He (M r. S.) was now prepared to
show *et the horse was worth 401.
William Barris stated, that he saw the horseohot,
and which was then in good condition. Had he
wanted a horse, and possessed the money, he would
have giren 401. for it. said to Mrs. Herne it was
a pitttio shoqtrthe animal. She replied, it must be
libot, foe saektatMr. H.'s order.
A Mr; Creswlck stated hia readiness to give forty
pounds for the horse, but.not till after he was shot.
—The shooting was while Mr. Herne was in. the
Fleet.
Mr. Herne said, that be hid not seen the horse for
15 months previous to his being shot, bet that when
he had last seen him be gave orders to shoot him.'"
Mrs.. H. instead of havingit shot, allowed it to run
*some pasture ; but when that land was let, and
figfil it became expensive to keep him, he was de-
stroyed. He had been useless from lameness since
Apt, which was occasioned by being ridden hard,
fallowing the Craven hounds. He had never been
sped 6ut for hunting.
Mr. P. Sewn did not wish to detain Mr. H. in
prison, if he undertook to pay out of his wife's pro-
perty 401. to the creditors for the destruction of the
horse.
Mr. Commissioner PALMER could not decidi con-
tray to the oath of a Clergyman of the Establish-
ed Church, though he certainly did net like the
transaction.

any thing out of his ow, pocket on Blount's-court

ceived from the present tenant for three years, be

LONDON SESSIONS. A

Yesterday the Sessions were holden at the Guild-
hall, before the LORD MAYOR, &c.

THE KING V. WILSON.
This was an indictment on. the prosecution of John
Die, for a vlototiraltiaa it on him oo tbe 4tb a July
last, by Thomas Wilson, bookseller,. Dean's-y.rd,
Doctors'-Commons.
•

The Prosecutor is one of the ticket-porters at.
tending about Doctors' Commons ; their general
rendezvous is opposite to Mr. Wilson's shop. This
seemed a nuisance to Mr. W. and on the 4th of July,
he commenced war against the ticket-porters. Mr.
W. observing Dye nalking about as usual, desired
himito depart, threatening at the same time to throw
water over him on failure of compliance. Dye not
going away instantly, the threat was carried into
execution. After this. Mr. W. sallied forth, and
made au attack on Oye ; and afterwards a lady c'me
to his assistance, and horil Dye's hands, while he was
severely beaten by Mr. Wilson. .
Mr. KNAPP, on the other hand, represented the
nuisance to which Mr. W. had been subjected by
this ticket-porter. They were a complete obstruc-
tion to his shop ; for the moment any customer ap-
proached, these surrounded them, and stunned them
with questions, about what Proctor they were in
pursuit of, or what business they had in Doctors'.
Commons. As to the assault, when the Defendant
desired Dye to go away, the only answer he got was,
"to come out and fight like a man." Oue was as
much to blame as the other.
Witnesses were called, btit they made out this case
imperfectly.
The RECORDER told the Jury, that they hail only
to do with the question of assault ; for as to the
nuisance, if the collection of ticket - porters con-
stituted one, the Learned Doctors of the Commons
knew very well how to remove it, without having
the public peace broken. The chief question for the
Jury was, who commenced the assault, as that moat
determine the verdict.
The Jury returned a verdict ofot.Guilly, and Mr.
Wilson was ordered to be fined a shilling. and dis-
charged.

CLERKENWELL SESSIONS, SEPT. 12.
• Jos.•Slafford stood, charged with having assaulted
Mr. Jones, a tradesman, near Manchester-square, to

The Prosecutor, Mr. Jones, and another man
who had been present, proved the assault, which
was committed on the return of the Defendant and
his master from the office of a 'Magistrate, before
-whom a complaint had been made by the appredtic,
and his father against the Prosecutor.

The 'Jury found the Prisoner Guilty, and the
'Chairman, haring strongly reprobated such an act
of violence from an apprentice to his master' sen.
tented him to one month's imprisonment.
