Boston, Thursday, October 20. . . A correspondent desires us
to insert the following, "Last Saturday night, about nine
o'clock, a bloody battle was fought in Cornhill, between a
bald-pated tory officer of marines, belonging to one of the
ships in this harbour, and a blind whig fiddler of this
town, during the combat the heroes displayed great courage
and resolution on both sides, but victory at length declared
in favour of the former."
