TUL KING V. WILLIAM TELL. E.Q. /IND DAWSON, VQ. In Michaels's, Term last, Mr. Scarlet, obtained a rule, tolling epos the Defendants to show cause, why a criminal information 'humid not be filed easiest them, the one u the principal and the other as the second, for challeugieg a Gentleman named Ploy''', to fight a duel. On that occasion we entered into a detail of ths circuespissices of CIO caw, hut of which, for die perp•s• of refreshing the recollection of our feeders, the following ',seine will be sufficient : Prier to the late General Election, Sir Robert Peel offered himself as • Candidate for the Borough of Tameorth, which, until the death of the lots Mar quis of Townsbend, had been represented by a blanch of that Nobleman's fast!).

In • few i days afterwards, lie published • second hared-bill, ad- I dressed to the Electorr, subscribed by his own name, span the same subject. The seers• animadrertions epee the 'character and conduct of Sir Robert Peel iu this publication, induced Mr. William Peel, the De fendant, to call upon him for Ms •11•11/114/i011 of his conduct, and in the Inuit the latter challenged t►e, Prosecett.r to fight a duet, but which was refused se the ground that Sy Robert feel alone was the person . who warentille4l to make such a call; it was, how. ever, at the VITO time said by the Prosecutor, that if the Derendeni could amigo Furl - talent , Le bad! coo OtiOVIIOn to give Lim the meeti•sg.
