BOXING.

•
The 'battle betwixt hiller and Jab' tool. -ff.le'e
yesterday, at Coombe Wood, for a hamisoni4:
subscription purse, in the presence of a numerous
ring of amateurs. ThiS'hattle bad excited much
interest;' the parties having before fought a hard
battle at Rickmansworth, when Jay beat his• ad-
versary in a confined ring by the strength of.hit-
Ong, with the compliment of a couple of broken
'ribs. Fuller is a twelve stone man of much
science,. and Jay weighed betwixt- 13 and 14
stone. The friends of Fuller backed hint on.
tbte supposition that science in as open ring
would subdue weight. The combatants set-to at
one o'clock, with Jcie Ward, and Gibbons se-
conds to Fuller, Richmond and Norton for Jay.
—Betting was 5 and 6 to 4 on Jay..
Fuller pursned the system of hitting and breaPing
away. however, sustained conSiderable in-
jury, Jay.succeeding in planting some, good hits
in return. The first 1.0 1,11;t1 lasted five mint:les,,
and Fidler, by hitting at the head with his left
:band, bled his adversary very considerably. II:
continued this system of hitting and getting away,
with lunch coolness,during the whole of the fight,
and seldom hit with his right hand, by which
he would have thrown hinrielf 'in, and made him-
self liable to some crashing hits.
hi the third round; Jay planted a heavy hit on
his adversary's temple, and in the next round he
succeeded in finding the mark where the ribs
were originally broken. Jay, however, never
turned the battle in his favour, tOr Fuller was the
fayonrite after the first round, in which he got
his man down •

Some sin Art rallies took place in the'Sixtb and
eighth rounds, but Fuller ilways kept his adver-
sary bleeding, by superior science, which together
with punishment about the eyes, reduced Jay to a
state of blindness, :ind he was beat in forty-two
minutes in fourteen rounds,

Much bravery was displayed in this ,sombat,
and much interest: was excited by'the tii7.l'betwixt
science and strength, Jay proved hirnself a good
man, but Fuller's. knowledge and courage, and
the manner in which he fought, could not fall in
shcuring victory, with that due regard to coolness
of temper, which he maniles,ted. What tis re•
.markable, there was not a single close during the
fight ; the men fought, until exhausted in every
round,, and never were.off their legs without ap-
parent cause.
The heating Jay received rendered hin; an ob-
ject trey deplorable. He fought with. determined
courage, and although quick; on his legs, the ac-
tivity and courage of his adversary was equal to
any compe;ition. Fuller, may .be considered as a
propinent pugilist'of first-rate cour-„It.!;e and skill,
not inferior to Power.

Two other battles took place, which afforded
much merriment.

General Sir T. PICTON yesterday left London,
for kortsrnouth, where the frigate is in waiting to
hin, and Sir J. Gtt'anAN to Lisbon.

Tuesday the appeal from the istiml of Jersey
came on to he heard before the Lords of the
Council at the. Council Chamber, Whitehall, re-
specting the right of electing Jurats. Tin: Island
possesses a Charter granted to them by YingJohn,
from which time to the present., all the inhabi-
tants paying rates had voted, for officers of,all de-
scriptions. Some time since a per Son of the name
of m
of lilarly was elected to the office ofJurat or
judge, which not only entitled him to sit in an,
Assembly there, similar to our House. of Gam,
inons, but also as Judge in Courts held there of
Equity, &c. There were objections to his taking
his seat and possession of the offices to which he
had been elected ; the follo‘.,'ing disqualifications,
viz. being a butcher :--not- :tppearing in a clean
shit t, and heing a disloyal man, by drinLing the
Wealth of Buonavarte. The objections were
transmitted to Go\ eminent, who, in reply, re-
probated the, triode. of conducting the elections at
Jersey : this, however, ivas not satisfactory to
the contending parties ; in consequence Commis-
sioners were sent theme to inqeire into the busi-
ness. They repotted their opinion, that the inha-
bitants had always mistaken the Charter granted
by !King John ; that it was not intended that
all the inhabitants should vote pt elections who
.paid rates, but only the, higher orders of those
who did so. from this Report the inhabitants
appealed,
Sir Siloam, RoHrt.LY and Mr. At.t.r.y were
heard for the inhabitants at large, and Mr. WE-
TITERALL for the higher order of the inhabitants,
all reprobating the conduct of the Commissioners.
answer to what bad been alleged against Mr.
Harley, as to his bnsiness, &e. it was stilted, thi‘t
instead of his' being a butcher, he was a contrac-
tor for boats for Government. .The

-
ing,was post conned. ?
