ANOTLIER DUEL,—A very strange duel is said tn,
have taken place at liirriemuir, lately, betwixt a " gent"
and a greengrocer relative to a dickey. The greengrocer
maintained that the fop wore a little shirt, and ques-
tioned if ho had a long ono. After high words about the
matter, the men of honour agreed to retire to a con-
venient place and settle the dispute like gentlemen.
Both met at the appointed place, accompanied by seconds.
The "gent" was armed with
a small pop pistol; the
grocer with an old firelock, which had been in the ter-
vice of Queen Anne. The seconds, who were weavers,
were armed each with a beam.pin, for the purpose of
keeping order. The ground (sixty yards) was measured
off. combatants took
, had primed without loading,
their places, triggers were
drawn; but, 101 the “gent,
and the grocer had loaded without priming. A cap
crack and a loud snap constituted the part to be per-
formed by
.the votaries of Friar Bacon. The grocer,
however, with an oath, pulled out a powder-horn from
his pocket to prime ; but the " gent" having no wish for
a second round took to his heels; but his opponent was
not satisfied. ye took the beam-pin from his second—
gave hot pursuit—threw the beam-pin after his flying
enemy, exclaiming, at the same time, " Take that,
Johnny Cope;" but Johnv's legs bore him as safe frcsa
the field as the, " gray mar a Meg" bore Tam o' Shauter
from the witoh ea of Alloway.—Breehin Advertiser.
