Unused to the novel etiquette of exchanging such compliments from one parlour to an adjoining room, Belcher personally communicated with Powers on the ground which he was induced to offer a combat. Pure ambition for the honour of contending for su- perior merit, being a satisfactory answer, Belcher agreed to fight with Powers, and the match was immediately made for 100 guineas aside.

The circumktance was reported about in the neigh bourhood, and reached the ears tif Mr. Connie, the landlord of the house, in Southampton-buildings; after which Mr. Ulyeate called on him, and stated, that his wife was so much alarmed ante time, and her fears continued so strong, lest the robbers shJuld pay them another visit, that he intreated Mr. Con►rie to allow intn to give up the house, as it would be impossible for him to remain in it with any degree of comfort. Mr. Connie inquiredif he had given notice at Bow-street. Office of the rob bery, or taken any steps to discover •the robbers ; to which he replied in the negative. Mr. C. informed him he should, and accordingly applied at the above Office on Thursday afternoon ; and Bacon, the conductor of the patrole in the neighbourhood of Shepherd's Bush, was desired to attend him at the house ; on the examination of which, no act of violence appeared, either in breaking in or breaking out. The principal account of the robbers was from Mr. Ulyeate and his gardener. The gar dener gave a particular account., stating, that the roam where he slept was very near the kitchen, and, hearing some men in the house, he believed four, but was positive there were three, .he armed himself with a bayonet. On his approaching the kitchen, which was perfectly dark, a pistol was discharged at him, the ball of which fortunately missed him and went into _the wall; he instantly thrust his bayonet into the robber, which entered his body about four inches, from the bloody state it was in.
