in which Mr: Gaussen, the gentleman in Paper Buildings, inti •
at the time the feigned attack (as it was then thought) was nude
- upon him, as noticed in our paper of Wednesday•last, it has hien
ascertained that both the pistols the young lady,used upon AO
occasion were loaded with ball. The flattened ball produced 14-
fore the Magistrate had struck the ceiling, And rebounded -Witlt
such force as to have made a considerable dent in the carpet at
the spot from:which it was picked ups. and the mark had AO' 7'

which put-it beyond doubt that serious mischief must, at least Mt
one time, have been meditated, ,thoughts were entertained if

no' actual harm had bees done, and the lady.. had • kjit her -eiti

discouraged, the application, and there the, affair dropped.-0
Had the young bidy been aware pf the renewed irritation Nail*
her, she would probably-sot have been so hasty In her applica-
tion; but upon the supposition that the affair had bliwn over,
she attended yesterday, and. sent her man-servant.into the Jui,

opinion the affair. was too. recent for her .feelings to have auf-
'fictently subsided to render it proper that she should be entrust.

sibly--went such instruments, at . least for any good purpose,.
and she might be.quite sure they would be perrectly safe Where
they were. At all events, as he was not the Magistrate- who heti
directed them to be detained,. it might not be altogether propiC
for hire to order them to be given up; and he recommended her

Mr. Alderman ALUINEY thought, that ,as she . could ha"
