called upon Mr. Mas in, in Watdour-street, to ask
him to ietrael the words he had made use of the
preceeding night, and a duel had been agreed upon,

was intended : upon which, Mr. Savignv, who was
present, rose, and acknowledged he gave tf-e informa-

and had fiiled the situation of Clerk to him, with
great satisladion to him, and credit to himself.
Mr. Born asked Mr. Mason, whether they were
to fight with swords or pistols ? To which Mr. M.
answered, he did not know whether it was to be
with horse-whips or pistols; which set the ‘lagi-
strites, as well as ev...ry one present, its a roar of
laughter.
Mr. M. asked Mr. Lee's pardon, before he left
the Office.
