THE No FIGHT • •
ICTWLIN JACK MARTIN AND JIM lUarf, POI sesoe a-not
There never w.. a fight looked forward to with more interest
than the present. On the one hand the friends of Martin rely on his
tried courage and manly generalship In many battles of great cele-
brity ; and on the other side, the sanguine admirers of Burn build
their hopes on his youth, activity, and known determination—he is
already a great favourite with the Fancy, and has a longing eye to the
Championship.—The morning was ushered. in very stormily and
wet, to the great annoyance of the road-takers. But their curio-
' shy to witness a prime battle between two such men overcame all
scruples, and the roads from London, Windsor, Basingstoke, &c.
and every avenue, by-lane, wood, moor, and mountain, poured
the converging crowds t• one interesting focus, of brave men,
sharp men, idle men, and flat men—harouche, dray, gig, and don-
key cart, all forming a motley ring to fill the eye of wonder.
—Ben Burn, Tom Oliver, and the fighting Jem, went down to
Hampton on Monday night, at which place Martin had been train-
ing, and slept at the Bell Inn. Jem Burn slept at the White Lion
Inn—he is in excellent health, high spirits, and full of promise. Ile
stands five feet ten inches and a half high, aged 20. and looks re-
markably well. He weighs eleven stone five pounds; when he fills
out, in a year or two, he Will be a powerful fellow. He is et-
tremely cautious in his conduct, and throws no chance away. Jack
Martin is 28 years old, five feet nine inches high, weighs eleven
stone ten pounds. He has won nine prize battles, and lost three.
The morning cleared up by nine o'clock, and about ten the whole
cavalcade of fighting men, their seconds, backers, and admirers, set
out in high glee for the field of battle, in the vicinity of Virginia
Water, where the Fancy had such an excellent neat yesterday
se'nnight. The odds varied in favour of Burn, but not much---at
any rite he was taken for choice.
The ring was to be pitched yesterday morning at Virginia Wa-
ter, but the Magistrates interfered, and the ground fixed oh was at
Laleharn, a village two miles from Staines.
Nu sooner was the ring formed than a Magistrate, Slx John
Gibbon, of Stinway, appeared, and told the milling tapes that there
should be no fight there.
However, at three minutes past one o'clock, Jens Burn came
into the ring with his uncle, Old Ben, and taking ()Whit hat, said—
" Gentlemen, I am here ready to fight ; if Martin does nut choose
to appear, I claim the money."—(Bravo and applause.)
Sir John Gibbon said, " You shall not fight here."
however, Burn remained in the ring, determined to wait the
appearance of Martin. After -waiting 20 minutes, he went out.
Old Ben said that he hid no doubt Martin intended to fight, but
lie suspected that his backers, having sported too much money on
the event, were afraid to let him come to the scratch. A number
of pigeon+ were " let fly" for London, to announce that it was no
p. It appears rather singular that the ground chosen should be so
near a village where there are so many beaks. The worthy Hart.
oft being told that he had spoilt the sport, answered, HI had had
many a day's sport spoiled.
The concourse of people was very great. There was a liberal
sprinkling of carriages on the ground, and others thronging towards
the spot; all seemed to go away very much chagrined at the result.
'Alartin's friends are certainly much to blame in healing the lovers
of pugilism so barefacedly. Burn went back to Hampton, having
easily won his three hundred pounds, which is,of course, forfeited.
Martin did not appear.
