  Two type I X-ray bursts were detected from a position consistent with the
transient X-ray source in NGC 6652 with the Wide Field Camera of the BeppoSAX
satellite, strongly suggesting that this transient is a neutron star. Our
detection brings to ten the number of X-ray sources in globular clusters in
which a type I X-ray burst has been seen, out of twelve known bright sources.
The statistical evidence that the fraction of low-mass X-ray binaries which
contain a black hole accretor is smaller in globular clusters than in the
galactic disk is suggestive, but as yet not compelling.
