The following is an erpakte statement made by a friend of
Colonel Disney, of the late affair near Staines In the
first place. it is not true that the. Culonel and •Lady Crans-
toun were found on his Lordship's return from chili ch on
Sunday, after service, in the nursery or bed-rocyni- Before
the pistol was fired, his Lordship entered thedrawing-room,
the door bei,,g unlocked, and saw the parties ; Lady Crans-
toun having been lame, and aueacked,.by a stirgeon, was
pointing out to Colonel D. the co`iklitinp.of:hdr•lameness.
This exciting a suspicion in his Lordship, he Ilait out in a
great pa,sion, rushed up stairs for his pistol, and bosh fol-
lowed him, to petsuade him that his suspicions were ground-
less, hot to no effect ; he cocked the pistol, and levelled it
at them. Colour.) Disney took her Ladyship in his arms, and
carried her out of the room, fastened her out, and then re-
turned to expostulate with Lord Cranstoun, but in vain,—
he fired at the Colonel, who, having no weapon of defence,
lifted up his arm to protect his head, and the ball struck
against the bone of his arm, left a desperate wound, and
glanced away. It is not true, that he ran out of the house
directly after he was fired at; he . remained some time, and
took his departure only from persuasion. He did at length
return to town; thin wounded, and went to his Lordship's
friends ; and so careless was he of his own condition, that
the wound had not been inspected until he went to his sur-
geon, near twelve o'clock on Sunday night. Her Ladyship
was sent away to her friends the same night. A favourite
dog was Shot dead by the hall, after it passed away from Col.
D.'s arm. The shock that the ball has produced upon the
bone, tearing away a part of it, leaves the event of' the case at
present undetermined, but every symptom appears to be fa-
vourable."
