LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1828.

trespass. I WAS invited by Lord Miltown, both at Ascot,
and at the Bell, at Windsor, after the Races, to visit him
at his Hotel. I called in “onsequence of his Lordship's in-
vitation, and was repeatedly refused an interview. I wrote
.t note to his Lordship on Saturday, in my betting book,
and asked the servant to shew it to his Lordship. Mr.
O'Meara here produced his betting-book, with the note an-
nexed as follows :

" 5,000 to 200—Medora.
" 3,000 to 100—Pedlar.
"33 000 to 100 Pedlar.
04.
" 700 to 100—Sambo.
"My Loan—Having been invited by your Lordship at
Epson), and again at Windsor, to call on you here, and
having called several times since Ascot Races with Out being
able to see you, and now understanding that your Lordship
is about leaving England shortly, I beg leave to request you
will he pleased to see me, and settle the above too long due
account, or he pleased to say what time to-morrow will suit
your Lordship to do so.
I am, my Lord, &c. " T. O'MEARA."

Mr. HALLS Said, that he had no objection to hear Mr.
O'Meara ; but it was not necessary he should say any thing
more, as there was nothing against him.
Mr. O'Meara—l must be prrmitteil to explain. I have
a wife and family, and am in the habit of visiting persons
of the first respectability at the west end of the town, who
have been informed, in all probability, that I was dragged,
on Saturday last, along the streets like a felon, and locked
lip in a watch-house. I trust, as there are gentlemen pre-
sent connected with the Press, that the true facts of this
case will go before the public ; and I will take care that
neither the Noble Lord, who is a levanter, nor his brother,
shall plunder me ; at least the expose will deter them from
acts of the kind in future. Mr. O'Meara then quitted the
office.

M. I.,tross,TE IN A the Sun of yesterday, it
will he recollected we presented our readers with an ac-,
count of an affair of honour between Mons. Pettit, the
Ballet•master of the King's Theatre, and Mons. Laporte,
the celebrated actor at the French Theatre. Leadbitter,
the officer who took M. Pettit into custody, wrote a letter
to Mor:. Laporte, and having stated the inutility of stay-
ing at Calais, M. Laporte was induced to return, and a
short time after his arrival yesterday:he was brought to this
office, and there held to bail to keep the peace towards
Mons. Pettit and all Isis Majesty's subjeCts. It is not
true, as we stated yesterday, that the quarrel originated at
the Opera last week, in consequence of the ballet not being
ready in time. The origin is not as yet known.

INQUEST ON LORD MOUNT-SANDFORD.

WINMOR, MONDAY ETENING.—This morning at nine
o'clock the Jury sat pursuant to adjournment from Sa-
turday.
Philip Spicer was the first witness called—He merely
deposed to seeing the row, and a person knocked down;
hut he thought it was a pickpocket quarrel, and did not
meddle with them.

Mr. Goodrich, keeper of the Saloon in Piccadilly, was
also attracted by the row which took place opposite the
Castle Inn. Sonic gentlemen quarrelled with two post-
boys for throwing water at them, and when the carriage
drove off be ordered the gentlemen to go away ; but they
were followed by a mob who trod closely on their heels,
and endeavoured to bring about a quarrel—taking part
with the post-boys. Soon after he heard the voice of a
gentleman whom i.e knew (Mr. R.), and turning round
saw hire in the midst of a mob of fifteen or sixteen per-
sons, who were provoking him to fight. The witness
took him from them to the Castle Inn, where they
met several of his friends. The mob still followed
them using abusive language. One of the gentlemen,
incensed at thk caught hold of one of the mob by the col-
lar, which seemed the signal for a general quarrel. Two
persons attacked the gentleman who had collared the man,
and blows were struck on both sides. In a few moments
the mob dispersed, but very soon after they began to re-
assemble. At this time it was that Lord Mount-Sandford
came up, and asked what was the matter ? Witness re-
plied as to what he had seen. He now p reeived the party
mustering again, and pointed out two of the principal to a
watchman coming up, desiring him "to take there into
custody, and do his duty." Ile replied, "he did not
know what was his duty,'‘ and went away, apparently
afraid to have any thing to do with them. Immediately
after several blows were struck at the gentlemen, some of
whom wore white bats; the two men subsequently ap-
prehended, were, he believed, the most active in the row.
Three of the gentlemen, at least, were knocked down,
among them was the deceased Nobleman ; witness caught
the man who struck his Lordship, and knocked him down.
The man who struck him was a stout fellow, about five
feet eight inches high, and appeared to know how to make
use of his fists. Witness was afterwards attacked by
them, and had enough to de to extricate himself. He
thinks his Lordship fell at the edge of the curb-stone.
—On witness's return, after an unsuccessful pursuit
of some of the assailants, he found him still lying
there, and several of his friends arrived, one of
whom exclaimed, " Good God ! it is Mount-Sand-
ford." The witness could not believe it was his
Lordship, as he was bald, and his wig had fallen
off, of the existence of which the witness was not pre-
viously aware. Witness was afraid he could not iden-
tify the man who struck him. His Lordship was quite
sober, as he had been speaking to him a few minutes be-
fore, and lie could have taken no part whatever in the
affray. The witness here handed in a note from a gentle-
man who had witnessed the affray, and would, if neces-
sary, come forward with his testimony :
" Dear Sir—lt is with the deepest concern I have read
your note, announcing the melancholy intelligence of Lord
Mount Sandford's death. Poor fellow ! I had hoped, from
the last accounts I had from you, he was out of danger,
though from the moment I first saw him I feared death
had marked him for his own. Such a death, end so un-
merited on his part, is sadly to be lamented. I regret that
I am compelled f's be in the country this day, and was on
the eve of departure as your note arrived. You, I be-
lieve, are acquainted with the circumstances, and having
caught the loam can say all that is requisite. The sur-
geons can, of course, state whether death was caused by
the kicks his Lordship received, or whether it was from
the fall against the curb-stone ; from one or the other it
is pretty certain that he met his death. The treatment he
received was most brutal, and it is due to his memory to
say, most unmerited. I again express my regret that I
rims not able to get to Windsor ; nor do I see that my pre-
sence could be essential, as so many of his Lordship's friends
were present. " Your's,

" BERKELEY BOND.

" 11, Quadrant, Snu;ay, lio'clock.

Charles Bethell Cedringion, Esq., Cornet in the First
Guards, went to the Castle Inn, where he had been told
Sir John Oglebv had had his eye opened; he found Sir
John there washing his eye. He then corroborated the
staten,ent of the preceding witness as to the different rows.
—Lord M. was conveyed into the Inn insensible; be had
dined with his Lordship, who was not intoxicated.
Edward Lord Hawke sworn—His Lordship saw his de-
ceased friend knocked down, and had himself a scuffle with
the man who gave the blow, in the course of which his hat
was knocked off; while he was stooping for it, the man ran
away. He pursued and overtook him. While conveying
him ton place of security, the prisoner's brother (Hunt)
came tip. and pretending to be a constable, attempted to
favour his escape, but did not succeed. His Lordship
acid the deceased bad been intimate friends many years,
and he was the last person in the world- who would have
gone willingly into a row. He was not at all intoxicated
that night.
Richard Tabren, a cabinet-maker, living in the Inn, de-
scribed the row as a general one against the gentlemen.
He saw the deceased lying en the ground ; his wig was off,
which the witness picked up. While he lay on the ground
a man named Brinklett kicked the deceased on the back
on
the
head'and then ran away. Ile did not observe
the head of the deceased before he was kicked.
any wound
of
nett was sober at the time; he had seen him busy in
the crowd before.
To a Juror—Brinklett took a run when he was going to
kick, as if it had been a football. (Shudders throughout
the room.) .
Brinklett was called in, and the last witness's testimony
read over in his presence. He is a short, but stout fellow ;
he Spoke scarcely audibly. None of the former witnesses
could identify Brinklett as concerned in the row.
Thomas Hunt and his brother George were also called
in.—Mr. Goodrich stated to the best of his belief, the for-
mer was the person who struck the deceased, and Lord
Hawke identified him as the man he had pursued and ap-
prehended.
T. Gascoigne, Esq., Cornet in the Royal Horse Guards,

deposed to Thomas Hunt running away, Lord Hawke and
witness followed him ; while he was running the people
cried aloud, " that is he that did it."
Another witness, named Fare, was next examined.—He
saw the deceased knocked down by a !luta of the size and
in the usual dress Of Brinklett, he fell on his face, and the
man who had given the blow kicked him instantly on the
back of. the head; he afterwards jumped on 'his body.—
The knocking down, kicking, and jumping occupied three
seconds. Witness went away, and left his Lordship to
himself as it was no affair of his, lie might have been
kicked and jumped upon for all he cared.
After some further testimony, the inquest adjourned for
a foi, days to give time to:Mr. Bond to be examined as to
the kicks, and the person lie saw kicking the deceased.
