When the case had proceeded some length, the learned Judge stopped it, observing that although the prisoners were engaged in an illegal fight (being the keepers of the ring), yet, as they had already been in custody nearly seven months, he thought the public justice would be satisfied by their being then discharged. A verdict of acquittal was therefore taken, and they were discharged. The two Clarks and Mumford were then placed at the bar, and the two former sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment, and the latter to one week.
