These men, not known in the Ring, but
ambitious of doing
something to hand their names down to posterity, or to
settle
some private misunderstanding, fought for ten pounds
a-side,
on Monday, on Old Oak Common, the former attended by
George Curtis and Frank Redmond, and the latter by
Ginger
and a commoner. It was a slashing affair while it lasted;
but
Mable, after the second round, in which he received a
severe
cross-buttock, took the lead, and won cleverly in
forty-eight
minutes and thirty five rounds. Barnett proved himself a
good
thrower, but the severe jobbing hits of Mable popped his
nob
in chancery, and deranged his faculties so much, that his
second
cried "enough." It appears that these gemmen are both of a
trade,
in the mustard line, which may account for the unusual heat
of
their blood. We would advise them, in future, however, to
prefer
their professional mills to milling in the Ring.
