A DUEL PREVENTED AT BRISTOL.

(From the Western Daily Press.)
On Monday afternoon an application was made
to Henry Pritchard, Esq., cue of the city justices
of the peace, by Mrs. Carter, the wife of a gentle-
man named Alfred Thomas Bridgen Carter, under
circumstances which led to the issuing a warrant
for the apprehension of Mr. A. T. B. Carter, of Row-
land Cottage, and Mr. George Saunders, of
Bel-
grave Hon=e, surgeon, owing to theformer having
sent sent a challenge to fight a duel, v which
accepted by the latter. One of the mayors ser-
geants (Derges) was
of the parties named in selectedtll for the apprehension
warrant, and about five
o'clock he, accompanied by another of the mayor's
sergeants, named Chapman, went off in search of
the would-be belligerents, and first introduced him-
self to Mr. Carter. who was busily engaged in
making arrangements for a departure by the seven
o'clock train for London, preparatory to a journey-
to Calais, where matters were to be settled " ho-
nourably after the manner of gentlemen." Derges,
with becoming delicacy, imparted the nature of his
business, on which Mr. Carter pointed to a case of
duelling pistols on the table, and ironically ob-
served, "There are the little fellows that were to
do the business." Derges gathered confidence and
Laconically remarked, " You surely wouldn't kill a
man, sir ?" " Wouldn't I ?'' replied he, " I'd do for
him," Perges having bagged his game, delivered
him into the custody of Chapman, and sought Mr.
Saunders, who is a surgeon in the Bengal Civil Ser-
vice, and in due course apprehended him. It
seemed that Mr. Carter and his professional anta-
gonist had a dispute upon some matters which
it would ill become us to place before the public,
and the result was that the former sent a challenge
to the military hero of the lancet, which was duly
acknowledged and accepted in writing. The note
conveying the acceptance of the challenge got into
the hands of Mrs. Carter, and she at once com-
municatel with the authorities. Both being in
custody, the officers proceeded to the council house
with them, and each of them was bound over, him-
self in £5OO, and two sureties in £lOO each.
