DU F EVENTED.—On Tuesday evening a dis.
me took place at a Coffee-house in the neighlloui.
hand. of Lombard-street, between two Merchants,
Well known upon the walks of the Exchange,
which for a time pr,ltniNed most serious conse.
quences, The rlt) irrri originated, at the Play.hOuie
the preceding ';*tt..)r,.lay, and the parties meeting, a
mutual explathtion was demapded; the. result was,
that • a meeting was proposed the 'nett morning on
Kennington Common, which, in all probability,
would have taken place, but for the following sin-
gular occurrence : The. parties, in their 'desire to
arrange their worldly concerns, rep,tired the same
evening almost at the same time, to the sank Solici,
tor, a ISir L. a respettable Attorney in the City. They,
were ushered into separate rooms, and having .each
disclosed his fatal secret, confessed his *pre hensi.ns
for the consequences -of the next day's interview, and
earnestly intreated that no step might be taken to.
prevent the intended meeting. The Attorney, in.
his turn, professed his mutual regard for the Oar.
ties, and expressed a wish to reconcile their differ.
ences, lie acquainted each with the•fatt' of his an.
tagonist lacing in the adjoining room, :and of a mu.
tual regret for what, had happened ; observing also,
that, it called upon, he would attest their Outage
as Gentlemen and men of honour. He added, ju-.
cosely, that they had better adjourn to the. Coffee-
house from whence they had come, fire a valley of
:rope across the table, and content. themselves with
witigigg the'gume of another's killing, than make
sportslor the town by Milling ace anosher. The par.
-tiecconsented, were introduced to each other, shook,
hands, and the next morning, by the time they'
should have set out on retf-dertrudien,„ they were
pet to bed to sleep off the effetis of the night's en.
counter in 'the field of • Bacchus. The Solicitor,
through the whole affair, proved himself a most able
second, and, for. the first time in.his life, pleased
both-Plaintiff and Defendant, though the parties
were compelled to pay their own costs.
There h at present upon the town a female
swindler, about forty years of age, who Staieft her.
self intitled to considerable Estates in the 'West.'
Indies ; that she is besides inritled to Prize-money
in rightiof her deceased husband, at Officer of the
Navy. She usually carries fit litinus Bonds of from
sixty to two hundred poundi With her, executed
according to form, which she pledges, anti, on in.
quiry, none of the subscribing names are •to be
found ; and also Checks upon • Bankers. Several
`persons-. have been duped by the artifice of this
:woman; who, it appears, is the widow of an Area•
leryman, who died some years ago at Gibraltat.--
It also appears that this woman has traversed Ire.
land and Scotland, prattising the same course or fraud
and deception.
It is a remarkable fad that an inhabitant of
Woolwich, who was employed by.. some of. his,
neighhours to buy a few Shares of Tickets iri the
last Lottery, serially purchased a 'Share of the
26,0001. and a Share of the to,ocaol Prizes Kid it
SOttri's Office, in the Piniltry.
