BOW-STREET.

Information was forwarded to this office on Sa-
turday morning, that a duel had been fought near the
lied House, at Battersea, on the previous morning,
between a Mr. Clayton and a Mr. Limbrick, and
that the former gentleman having been shot through
the lungs, expired on Friday night. The surviving
principal and both the seconds having absconded,
Sir R. BIRNIE directed two of the principal officers
of this establishment to go in pursuit of them. The
inquest is appointed to take place this day.
On Saturday night, Ferstandeg, the German
scholar, who about 16 months ago was committed
from this office by Sir R. Birnie and Mr. Minahull,
charged with feloniously detaining a MS., the pro-
perty of Wilks, the bookseller, of Chancery-lane,
came befere Sir B. Birnie, with a view to he passed
to his own country, on the ground that he was
wholly unable to obtain a subsistence in England,
owing, as he alleged, to having been committed to
prison by Sir R. Birnie and Mr. Minshull upon a
charge of felony, for which there was not the
slightest foundation. Ferstandeg vehemently urged
the gross injustice of treating him as a felon merely
because he conceived he had a right to detain
Wilks's manuscript until the sum agreed upon for its
revisal should he paid. Although instantly acquitted
by a Jury, the stain of felony was fixed upon him,
and the means of subsistence which he had formerly
possessed he enjoyed no longer. Thus circum-
stanced, his only hope was to throw himself upon
parochial bounty in order to be passed to his native
country.

Sir it. BIRNIE would willingly do all in his power
to forward Ferstandeg's object, and asked him to
what parish he belonged ?—Ferstandeg was re-
siding in Lambeth parish.

Sir R. BIRNIE regretted that he had no power to
order relief in Lambeth, and advised him to apply
to the Magistrates at Union-hall.
Ferstandeg, however, appeared to consider that
Sir R. Birnie was bound to do somethimg for him,
and he began in no very measured terms to upbraid
that Magistrate and Mr. Minshull for the injustice
they had done him. A stormy dialogue wai then
carried on between Sir Richard and Ferstandeg
which ended in the forcible expulsion of the latter
from the office.

On Saturday Mrs. Catherine Sloane, otherwise
Pettit, the discarded wife of Dr. Sloane, who hav-
ing been married to her only by a Catholic priest,
and not according to the forms of the Church of
England, could not be compelled to allow her a

have an order made for the settlement of her infant,
of which she had sworn her ci-dcvant husband to be
the father.
