The Arrest Of the Benicia Bsy.-The Amer.
lean Champisn In Q Chase.
The Manchester (Eng.) papers, bring some
account OF the recent arrest of John q. Heenan
| near that city. He was believed to be at a
training place known as the 'Trent Locks, >
| aud the officers proceeded to . tavern where il
was suspected he was stopping. The Guar
dian says:
Trent ferryman let them into the house,
and they at once planted themselves at the
bed drOOm stairs, and then asked for the land :.
lord. The landlord came down. In answer
to the question whether HeeDan Was not in the
house, he replied that he had been there on the
evening previous, but did not know that he
was sleeping there. Sergeant Lowndes and
po'ice-constabie Hallam, then proceeded TO a
room, the bed of which had evidently just
beenSvacaied, and by the side oft were a shirt
trousers, and waistcoat 1n the room also
were two OF Heenan s hackers and O'Donneli,
ms trainer. One Of them was an American
who said ne had only arrived in England the
ieoge OF Heenan's whereabouts.
After the officers had searched every room
up stairs for about an hour, they descended
again. Directly afterwards, man. named
Henry Zachison, who keeps the ck-house,
on the Trent bank, came into the house with
q note written in pencil, which he gave to the
| landlord The police were in plain clothes,
and Superintendent Shaw said to ZachisOn.
What is it !" He replied that sit was from
Heenan, who was at his house." The note was
as follows:
II am waiting for my shoes at the Lock House;
Donneii must bring them TO me directly
Ihe cfiicers then proceeded to the Lock
house. Zachison denied all knowledge of
Heenan, and would not allow them to 60 up
STAIRS without producing search warrant.
Sergeant LoWndes then went to county ma
gistrate, for search warrant and after he had
oeen gone about ten minutes Heenan jumped
,hrongn Lachison's bedroom window and
ieaped over the head Of police constable Hal
| lam. lie at once took to his heels, followed by
the officers. An exciting chase ensued, but the
American, no, knowing the "lne of country"
WAS captured after clearing few fields.
Both Heenan and his hackers appeared deep
~ mortified at his being taken. This was
about O'Clock yesterday morning and a trap
being sent for, Heenan was put In and con-
Veyed 10 Derby, distance OF ten miles. On
the road he had good deal Of "chaff :" with
the officers, and thi eatened to smash Sergeant
Lown nose, but the latter replied that no
American could do it. Heenan said tina. he
| hao never signed any agreement to fight Say
| ers therefore 1t was an illegal apprehension
he also said he could "lick any Englishman,
to which Lowndes, with stretch of patriot
| ism replied that he would be a poor English
| man that could not lick him. Heenan re.
marked, I have been removed twice; they
do not attempt to take Sayers, while l have
| been hunted about like dog" His arrival at
| Derby about ~ A. NJ, caused an immense sem
| saton, and the front of the Town Hall was be.
| sleged during the day by great mot.
| After Heenan had been in the lock- up short
| time he was visited by Mr.. II. p. Osborne, a
| Derby magistrate, who ordered his removal to
| better quarters, and he was at once reno ed
| 10 the head constable's house, where he is at
present comfortably located. The next day.
as has been stated, he was bailed in $3.50 TO
| keep the peace.
"Bell's Life" the sporting journal of Eng
land, has the following:
| In our first edition. we stated that Heenan
| had been arrested at Trent Lock, near Derby
| and conveyed to the lookup in that town.
| After that edition had gone to press, we learn
ca that Mr Falkland had not been with Hee-
nan for fortnight. 1t is clear, therefore, that
| he could not have advised the Benicia Boy
| to take his sudden journey into Derbyshire ;
and 1t is equally clear to us that "rhe Boy
| himself cannot be censured for the selection of
| his quarters, rs he must have been mainly de-
pendent upon his attendants i'll this matter
| and, moreover, cannot have any intimate
| knowledge of the country.
| JACK Macdonald has since called upon u.s.
| He says he left Derby on Friday night and
| travelled all night to set himself right with us
| and the public. He declares he selected Trent
| Lock as being on the borders of three counties,
! Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, and within
| easy access OF any OF them. He and Jacks
| friend had taken such precautions as they
| thought would render everything perfectly
| safe, and had employed fellow to sound the
police and ascertain what was the feeling. and
| whether anything mad been done and was in
| tended to be done. This fellow, whose expen-
| ses were paid, and who had received all sorts
| OF presents, declared positively that all was
| right; and 1t now turns out that he had played
| into the hands of the police, and it was
! through him alone that the officers obtained
| Information US TO Heenan's whereabouts
| Trent Lock, 1t seems, is the place where Dick
| Hall and other Nottingham men, including
| Bendigo, had repeatedly trained aud it is,
| therefore, not at all singular that it should
nave been selected. We are glad, for the sake
oi all parties, that this matter is cleared up,
| and We are pleased at being able to express our
| opinion that neither Of the men, nor their
| friends, has had hand in the business The
| warrant was originally issued in Leicester
shire. We have great pie asure in gratifying
| request OF Mr.. Falkland, in stating that the
| rumor as TO Heenan's arrest having been
| caused by Tom Sayers, or his friends, did not
! emanafe from him, or from any of Heenan's
party, all Of whom have the highest opinion
Of Tom Sayers, and believe him utterly inca
pabie OF such conduct.
