gives the number Of rounds as a. and after noti,-
ing the interference Of the police at round 37says
at was plain from the noise around Sayers' car
ner that it was the determination Of his party 70
bring the fight to such close as would save Savers
the belt, but still Hsenan kept to mis- work" This
treatment was kept up through the next f'ur
rounds, when at Ground AZ" finding that Savers
could not, would not. rise from his seat in his
corner and that his seconds refused 70 award hin
the victory that belonged 70 him. BY throwing up
the sponge he advanced upon him in the mid,. Of
his seconds and struck him where he sat. Being
struck in return BY some one else IN that corner
he turned upon the other party, and, in his Just
indignation at the outrageous manner N which
the objeo, Of his ambition had been dishonorabIv
vrested from him, h opened free fight against
them all.
WIlE,s' SPIRIT says further, 1--WE protest against
the base proceeding, whi,h extricated the beaten
Champion Of England from the hands Of Hsanan
at Farnborourh on Tuesday last, and we
claim in the same connection that John C. Hee-
nan i,rightfuIly entitled to be considered. IN
pugilistic point Of view, the Champion Of tie
