FIGHT BETWEEN JEIII BURN AND 11I'GEE, FOR
FIFTY SOVEREIGNS ASIDE.
_

In the present "pecuniary crisis" of public and pugilistic con-
cerns, the lovers of the P. It. are all alive when there is any pro-
bability of a good day's sport,; and although Langan's "occupation's
gone," and Spring snugly cribbed among the cider barrels of his
native country—Although Cannon's good report is heard no more ;
end our facetious friend Joshua Hudson finds it more profitable to
draw porter than claret, yet we have a host of real good fighters
who could keep the game alive, if the patrons of the ring would
only extend their feelers, and the profile of our sovereign would
countenance such men as Ward, Sampson, Crawley, O'Neal
and others. However the.. assemblage collected yesterday, to
witness the set-to between Burn and IITGee was uncommonly
cheering, there being present all the members of tl.e P. C.
and all the hardware of I3rummidgham. Burn was the
favourite generally; for he is, as Uncle Ben says, " Not
merely a chip of the old block, but a bit of the block itself."
M'Gee is nothing but a good one, and the Liverpool blades
ventured large bets in his favour, and nothing but legitimate mill-
ing was expected. Oliver is the friend of Burn, and Langan sup-
ported his brave tiountrytnan. The stakes were 501. aside, and the
scene of combat on Lielifield Race course, being about midway be-
tween London and Liverpool.
The men arrived in the neighbourhood on Sunday night, and early
yesterday morning advanced towards the field, equally confident in
their powers, and in high condition and spirits. A little before
one the men entered the ring, and gave the customary signal.
The necessary arrangements being completed, the men came to
the scratch in a manner which convinced the spectator* that no
child's play was intended.
Round 1. The fight commenced with spirit; 14I'Ciee seemed
to be desirous of making sure of the first blow; but Burn was
awake, and with uncommon dexterity parried the blow, and
planted a nice one on the es fivatis of his nun; Pet retuned--
one, two ;- stop -a close, and in the draggle Pat was second best.
—(Bravo ! 6 to 4 on Jam).
3. liPGee, not hurt, rushed at his man, and had nearly thrown
him—Jem recovered himself, and seemed determined for slaughter.
Pat was not afraid, and both peppered beautifully ; Jern, to guard
against the rush of his opponent, "sited for him, and received him
with a punisher on the victualling office, which had great effect.
4 and 5. Jem liked his customer, and Uncle Ben thought it
secure ; Pat seemed desirous to bore his man to the ropes, but was
floored.

6to 10 was all in Burn's favour; Pat lost his wind and
temper, and fought against himself.

11 and 12. Pates only aim seemed to be to get his man to the
ropes ; he fought well, and the coolness and temper of Jem was
admirable, although his head was most dreadfully punished.
13 to 19. Uncle Ben and Oliver complained of hating nothing
to do, while their brothers on the other aide were toiling to no
purpose.

2-0. Nothing could save M'Gee—he vainly endeavoured to hors
at his man, but was almost instantly floored.
21 to 28.--Jem, anxious to finish, gave a tremendous blow,
which told on the pumpkin of Pat, and made hint reel to the
groand—both the men were severely punished, and Pat 'bona NI
was good *tuff.
