AFFAIit OF IloNonn.—Yesterday two Gentle-
men appeared before the Lotto Matron, atthe Mansion House,
on a charge of having either challenged, or been challenged by,
two other Lientlemen to tight a duel. One of the defendants was,
it appeared, to have been second to the other in deciding the dis-
pute ; but in the course of the arrangements for the meeting a
gunnel broke out between those who should upon such an occasion
have e.ottimandial their tempers and consulted the interest of
their respective friends, and nothing would satisfy the polies
but battle. The peril in which the lives of four gentlemen of
great respectablity, two of whom belong to the city of London,
was placed, excited an alarm amongst their friends, and the
wife of one of them having learned what was going forward,
submitted the case to Sir James Shaw, who immediately
directed that all the parties should be apprehended and brorg'tt
before the Lord Mayor. Harrison succeeded in getting hold
of the two defendants, but the interference of the polite
was rendered unnecessary any further, AN apologies were made by
thosP Idle gave the first offence, and the whole matter was accom.
medium!, we understand, by the judicious interference of Sir
James Shaw. It was, however, necessary tom ake known the facts
to the Lord Mayor, whom the defendants requested to permit
the investigat on to be conducted in his private room. This im-
proper indult;ence the Lord Mayor refused ; but then the awry
was told up in ;a corner, and only reached our correspondent in
broken sentenve. The defendants declared upon their honour
that they .would stir no more in the liminess I and Harrison
stated that he had seen one of the other parties, and was most
solemnly assured by him that the affair was lune at an end.—
The Lotto illmectit considered that enough tied been stated
to convince him of the pacific aispoSitlon "of all parties concern-
ed in the business, and therdere discharged the defendants.
