BOXING AND PRIZE FIGHTING.
WJIAT IS TIIIC DIFFERENCE? DEPUTATION TO NEW SOUTH WALES .MINISTER. Received 3. 1.10 a.m. Sydney, Lust Night. The Premier, replying to a deputation from the churches asking him to do something to prevent prize fights, said the law countenances boxing. It wis impossible to obtain evidence that it was a prize fight till it had begun. The Government was not in sympathy with anything that degraded the community, but in endeavoring to stop occasional abuses of a legitimate practice th.'y might lie penalising a legitimate pastime. It would be unwise to introduce legislation, but the Government would see that the law was not abused. He informed a member of the deputation that lie did not think that the BumsSquires fight was a prize light.
