hair, and shaving him at short intervals, and that the
last time he did so was about four years ago, and that
the poor creature was " quiet and good," but dirty in his
habits. Mrs. Pelham appeared kind and indulgent to
him, and supplied him with food, of which witness did
not think he was stinted.

Mr. Warden, surgeon to the Chelsea workhouse, saw
the lunatic on Saturday last, when he had been cleaned.
Found no marks of violence on him. He was in good
condition, and rather fat, and his bodily health good.
Had no hesitation in saying that it was not necessary,
for his safe keeping, that he should have been in such a
state. He is a lunatic.

Mr. Steele said there was no charge against the male
defendant.

Mr. BURRELL said he should remand the defendants,
who might again be admitted to bail, until that day
fortnight, when, if no further evidence was adduced
against the male defendant, he should discharge him.
The case was of a different nature against Mrs. Pelham.
The defendants were accordingly remanded, and, on
leaving the Court, they entered a cab which was drawn
up at the office door, and drove off amidst the hisses of
the mob.

THE LATE COLONEL FAWCETT
AND MR. MUNRO.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—l have not hitherto thought it necessary to offer
any remarks upon the correspondence
,lately published
in the Times, regarding the unfortunate duel between
the late Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, C. 8., and Mr.
Munro, nor should I do so now, were it'not that
Mr. Munro, in his letter to you, of the 20th of
April, has mentioned me several times by name,
and attributed motives for my conduct which are to-
tally at variahce with the real state of the case. As
regards the " instructions," as Mr. Munro calls them,
given to me by Colonel Fawcett being so imperative as
to leave me no discretionary power whatever. I have
only to remark, that they have been already published,
and lam perfectly willing to be judged by them. As
to what passed between Mr. Munro and Mr. Grant, I
can of course have no knowledge of it whatever ; but,
in justice to the memory of Colonel Fawcett, I feel
myself bound to contradict the statement made by Mr.
Munro, to the effect that I was of opinion that Colonel
Fawcett intended to kill him, or " that he (Mr. Munro)
was moved at my suggestion off a target on which he
would otherwise have been placed, and which plainly in-
timated the intentions of my principal." The reverse is the
fact—Colonel Fawcett solemnly assured me previous to
the affair taking place,"that although he felt himself forced
to meet Mr. Munro, no consideration whatever should
induce him to fire at the husband of his wife's sister, and
such was the case, as he did not discharge his pistol
at aIL

In corroboration of the above, I beg to inclose a letter
I have received from Major Daubeney, C. 8., 55th Regi-
ment, who attended him until his decease, and which, I
trust, will sufficiently prove that Colonel Fawcett not
only did not fire at Mr. Munro, but more9ver, that he
never had any intention of so doing.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant.

My dear Cuddy,—.I was with Colonel Fawcett about
two hours after he was wounded, and attended him, with
little intermission, until he died.

He repeatedly eXprsesed in my presence his thankfulness
to the Almighty, ',not only that he had not fired at Mr.
Munro, but also that he had never intended to do so. He
also told me, that although he had felt himself forced to
meet Mr. Munro, he did so merely as a point of honour,
and that it was his intention, had it been so permitted,
to have left the ground with you immediately after re-
ceiving Mr. Munro's fire, adding also that you were per-
fectly aware of his intentions on that head.
I should state that Colonel Fawcett appeared to be
perfectly aware that he was dying at the time that he
made these observations, and that the clergyman and
surgeon who attended him in his .last moments can
doubtless corroborate what I have said, if necessary.—l am,
my dear Cuddy, yours most sincerely,
C. B. DALIBENEY, Major, 55th Foot,
