which: took place at the.Cricket-Ground, near Mal-

front Malden ; Ensign M. attended by Lieutenant
STEPHENS, and Mr. O'H. by Ensign STRWAIIT, all
of the 11th. A number of speaaiors were present.
The ground being measured at 12 paces distance, the
pat ties tired, without elfea when it WaS proposed;
on the part of Ensign M. that•a mutual concession
should take place: which, from the nature of the
insult received, being deemed imktimissible on -the
part of Mr, 0111. they proceeded to fire a second
time, when the ball from Entign M.'s pi49l entered
Mr. O'H.'s 'right side, passed through his body, and
was instantly extracted by the application of-a lancet,
from his left. After receiving the wound, he de-
dined altering his position lig some minutes i but
continued calling* out to his adversary to fly,- and
evade the pursuit of some constables who were ob-
servers ,of the scene, and who succeeded in taking
him into custody: • Mr. O'H. was conv'eyed to
_his
apartments in the barracks at Malden, where he ex,
piled the following morning, at, five o'clock. He
was a very tine young man, in his 24th year, and
was- highly esteemed by his brother Officers. His

Malden, on Sunday ; the men of the i i th, and the
D(dg9ollS, chid Norfolk, Militia, quartered in the
place, lining the streets through which the proms.

and attended with the nniVersal regret of the inha-
bitants of the lcwn and neighbourhood. Ensign
