FURTHER PARTICULARS

On inquiry last evening the answer riven was that Mr.
Kearney was doing well. The ball had entered just above
he hip, awl had passed nut near the back bone. The Ma-
gistrates, it is said, when they accepted bill for Mr. O'Con.
nell, were not aware that he had wounded his adversary.

ANOTHER. ACCOUNT.

The following is from a correspondent, who derives his
information from an unequivocal source.

Y-sterday morning a meeting occurred in Greenwich
Park between William John O'Connell, EN., (a relative
of Daniel O'Connell's,) and R. Kearney, Esq., the parti-
culars of which are somewhat interesting. It appears
that all the parties had been dining together at the Piazza
Hotel, and after taking their wine, repaired to some place
of public amusement, (where we are not able to learn,) in
which the affray took place. The insult being of an ag-
gravated nature, the parties, although the affair took place
it three in the morning, met the same evening at Chalk
Farm, but the darkness closing in suddenly obliged them
to defer the meeting till the following morning, when Mr.
O'Connell and his friend left Morley's Hotel in a post-
chaise, and repaired to Greenwich Palk. Here the oppo-
site party arrived, and a shot was mutually tired at the
same time: that of Mr. Kearney's missed its aim, but
Mr. O'Connell's took effect, passing through a very tender
part of his adversary, and grazing the fore finger of the
left hand.

Mr. O'Connell, immediately after firing, excliiined,
" Have I hit that man? I think I have." The friend
.4 Mr. Kearney then declared that gentleman to be
wounded, when Mr. O'Connell went up and rejoined, " I
sincerely hope not striously," at the same time offering his
hand.

Mr. Kearney was then carried to the house of Dr.
White, in Patliament-street, where his wound (which we
are happy to say is nut dangerous, although half an inch
on either side would have made it fatal), was dressed, and
there is no doubt of his speedy recovery. In the mean
time, the second of Mr. O'Connell was taken prisoner,

the peace to all his Majesty's subjects for six months,
himself in 2001., and two sureties in 100/. each.
Considerable gallantry appears to have been exhibited
by both the parties ; but it is well that the affair has
terminated as it has, since, from the marked determina-
tion of Mr. O'Connell, it was very likely in any other case
to have originated more fatal consequences. The seconds
on the occasion were, for Mr. O'Connell, Robert Gar-
diner, Esq., of the county of Sligo ; and R. Arnott, Esq.,
fur Mr. Kearney. A few friends accompanied the parties
to the ground, amongst whom was Daniel O'Connell,
Esq., of the 38th regiment.
