Whets he went from the bedside he copied llo• paper. Doe additional question he had since bent farmed was pat ht him, which was as funniest—Mr. Cuddie, del )uu rumbler this • regular duel ? He auswescal, " Pio; w, , re iu the way of self-defence." 'llk lodge remarked, the opinion of Mr. Cuddie wou!il nut asialte the law. lle would, however, take dime the quit tom and atooser. They were certainly evidence. Cross exansiiied by Mr. CLARILE.—Mr. Caddie said Mr. A. Brimilebauk was extremely •ustous to prevent bet:dime, and did all in his power to illlittee him to make an apology. ISecollected Mr. Cuddie saying that they had both fired loge. ther.

The deceased said, " No—self difenee—seltdefence," and shook bis head. Old Mr. Brit tle-hank asked who loaded the pistols. Mr. Andrew mud lie. F. Brilllehatik were Shell present, and Mr. Spencer. This pm also in the presence of several other persons. Mr. F. Seililebank said, 1w did, himself, meaning Mr. W.

It ails trqtrosit al that Mr. Cuddle would inform them how the trisfortorte happened. Ile then dean Ore.' the letter being - met, cud his refussl of the challenge, and the consequent in vcci•disigs, as detailed by tither witnesses. Mr. Flint was 'hire, •tirl asked Mr. Caddie whether he considered it it fair duel? Hr said, " No—self defence;' which he repeated twice over. Cruse-examined by Mr. READWIL.—Was one of the Exe cutors uf Mr. Cuddle. The will was mode by Mr. A. Brit llchank at the request of Mr. Caddie. Ile saw the dere:teed roan it.

The learned Judge stow addressed Andrew Brittlebank, and arintitaiiced to him that if he bud any thing to otter to hitt. or the dory, the tittle fur doing so was arrived. Anihew Br ttilebank said he Lad intended to address the Court without erg.. Ting to a paper then in his possession, but I.ls ft ;hags ware too much affected by the suleusarity uf the actor to allow bun to do so. He therefore begged to read the paper to which he bad alluded. He then read as follows : My Lord and Gentlemen of the Jury—You are now in full putuessiun of the evidence spina' es, and I sin cwt. 'intact that the aerfpl duty which you owe your country, that 'sered duty which you owe your character, arid the A raturfill and solemn obligratiou of as oath, will lead you tu do awleartrrt and iltillailtial justice between the accusers and the t used ; 'belay** will weigh the evidence against us with at ermcoes 411*114,mpartiality which have ever dialingoished the Juries of tilliwcoantry ; and that you will itialibtaa from I; your maids Batty' pscjuilire which may have beets mates' by ' reports which Lane Wen too iorlsistriously circulated liellltibi as. "I hese considerations, Gentlemen, afford use contrail awl so ppm, under Ibe heavy load of it aCttlaatioll of wilful wu.d.:, agates' which 1 am now to speak iu my own di fence. " The witnesses, as far as their knowledge and observation could lead them, have already sufficiently proved the manner .Rich the g I part of the trausaction happened; and Ibis state until after dinner, when Mr. Spencer?, whom 1 un derstood my brother ism had preview.] y sent tor, ar rived. Os the he my brother an answer from r 'lt I understood „it the Ladies retiring he delivered to a from Mr. Coddle, to a message whic h my brother had Mot by him. The purport of the answer was, that lir. Caddie was determined not 14 apologise for any thiog which had occurred the evening bet 'ore, nor would be accept any challenge from such a fellow a a my brother ; sod that ditty brother posted him as a co ward, be would make him stiffer fir it, for he would liorsew hip hint wher ever he met with him. My brother, highly 'irritated at this message, immediately junipe I up, soil went for his pistols, which be delivered to Spencer, telling him they were both loaded, and desiring him to examine thei a, which he did. At the same time my brother said that he let t again insulted, and that he could aid, as a man, be satisfieo I without an es . planation, and would instantly call upon M r. Cuddie. Both Mr. Spencer and myself again endeavnterei I to dissuade my brother from resorting to such a step; but, apprehensive he should be again insulted, and probably Isere. 'whipped, lie de. termteed to end the bossiness by au iintnedi ate explanation. In this determination I.e went A Mr. Curial( 'a, accompanied by Mr. Spencer, and convinced. from the m essage delivered by Mr. Spencer, that Mr. Caddie had sot co insulted any one upon the business, and etineeieiwg from 01 sr former friend. shlp that lie might be disposed to listen It. me, I proraileJ tepee my brother Francis to go with me, a al we followed them, mid overtook them before they reset 41 Mr. Calcite's bootie. Mr. Spencer nes sent by my two :her William, to tell Mr.Cnddie that he nal in the garden i vies pistols, and that he most either make en apology or Of :ht.

Finding my eodeavont.rs to prevent the duel fruitless”, I immediately ran away, and was going round the bow window of the house, whew pistols went off, which caused me to return. I then fatal Mr. Cuddle hail been wounded, and immediately rats top It. bun, soul maieted him into the house, and placed him to a chair in the porloour.

Bence before you, shot at Mr. Cuddle's re .luest, I made his will, and it is only justice to Mr. Spence r to soy, that but for the anxiety and agitation under oar!)

Francis Hrittlebauk, on Indite called on for his defence, disclaimed all hostility to the deceased, and declared all his reliance-was on his own iimoceoce, awl she humanity of the Jury, to restme him to the bosom of has family. Edmund Spencer, after the statement of the circumstances of the case which had 'iced suainitted to the Court by An drew Brittlebauk, felt that little remained fur him to say. Ile then minutely deseeibed what had occurred un his carrying the messages of W. Beitttelsauk to Mr. Caddie. The de ceased, speaking of the part lie hued taken, imputed nu hlaine to him. He bad beim ignorant of the purpose lir was seat fur, and disclaimed all personal hostility towards Mr. Cud dle.

The people were few just there, and all quiet. Saw swim!e brandishing; saw me scuffle at the Park-gates. The bran dishing of swords caused irritation among the people, which was resented by the throwing of brick bats. Dud not see stones thrown from the other side of the way tall after the man was shot. The people hissed the soldiers, and cried out " Murder!" Did not oh.ers the people demean themselves in any disorderly manner. except where tire soldiers inter fered.

About that time a waggon came up with stores is it, and two or three soldiers on it. They went to the end of the lam , to svoid She procession_ The waggon seemed to be the mean, of effecting the wishes of the people. The soldiers unknowingly blocked up the way; the barricade was com pleted by the dung carts. A Juryman remarked, that there was a waste of time in asking gut...twos about Kensington, as their inquiries ex tended only to something done to Oxford-stmt. The Coroner said, that it lied been averred that the Riot Act was read in Kensington by Sir Robert Baker: if so, it would be material evideoce to know that fret, as it might go far to explain what happened subsequently in Oxford. street.
