Proprietor of The Observer newspaper, near St. '
Clement's Church, in the Strand, to look over the

and fullest account of the Meeting in Palace-yard.
‘Viiilst lie was there Mr. Dowling opened the office
dour, and seeing Mr. Hunt, he asked souse question
and was retiring, when Mr. Hunt stepped up to the
dour and cried, " Stop, a word with you." Mr.
Dowling stopped, standing in the door-way, hold-
ing the door in his hand. Mr. Iltint" You in-
famous rascal, how dare you publish in all the
Papers, that you gave me a horsewhipping which
I had not the spirit to resent ?" Mr. Dowling—
" I give you my honour, as a gentleman, I never
did." Mr. Hout—" D—u your honour; a hired
spy, a Government spy, talk of honour ! if you
did not, some of your d—u'd colleagues did,
and it wits copied frotu 'paper to paper all over
the country. You infamous scoundrel, if you
have the courage or spirit of a man 'hew it now ;
come, I shall go into the street with you" (of.
fering to go out.) Mr. Dowling—" Upon my
honour, you wrong rue; but, Hunt, you are well
known, and I should only get disgrace by having
any thing to do with you" (going and pulling the

him whilst in Mr. Clement's Office, hut be shall
not go unpunished for his falsehood, his cowardice
shan't save him from me" (following Mr. Dow.
ling into the street, collaring him, and giving him
two or three blows with his clenched list), " Take
that; and as you have not spirit to result it in a
manly way, take the law."—Here a great crowd
began to asaemble ; Mr. Hunt retired into the of-
tice Mr. Dowling put in his head, and said, " Mr.
