the taro seconds were afterwa'rd's taken Into
tody a`tid brought to this Office, anli ilnderWetlt
an examinationt before Mr. Coicki,ifi,.the Sitting
Magistrate, when the !Following
transpired :
Thomas Mint, A constable of.naturstead, stat-
ed, that he was sent for to Mr. Addms's house,
near Chalk Farm, in Ingram-lane, near' the Load
of Hay, where he took the prisoners into custody;
in consequence of a Gentleman having been killed

in a duel.
Mr. Adams, who occupies the house above al-
luded to, attended, and stated, that about nine.
o'clock yesterday morning, he was in his bed-
room, in the act of dressing hitltself, when be
heard the discharge of two pistols, which induced
him to look out of his window, when he saw tOur
Gentlemen, two fields from his hduse, near Chalk
Farm, as be considered in the act of fighting a
duel. They did not separate or diaPerse ; be was
therefore fearful they had not settled their affair,
and would fire again ; he in consequence finished
dressing himself with all possible speed, and hur-
ried off to the spot to endeavour to prevent the
shots being repeated. Just as he arrived at the
gate, and was in the act of getting over it, two
pistols went off ; he observed one of the Gentle-
men, who appeared to him to have discharged one
of the pistols, to torn round, who he concluded
had received one of the shots. The three other
Gentlemen went tip to the wounded man instant-
ly, and two of them supported him on each side
•0 prevent him from tailing ; each of them held
his arms. Oct his getting op to them, one of
them said to him they were all friends. 'lle saw
blood running profusely down the trowsers of the
deceased. Three of them (the prisoners) gave
him their names And addreSses. He did not see a
pistol in the possession of the deceased, or any of
the prioners. He invited the prisoners to con-
duct the deceased to his house, which they accord-
ingly did. Ile did trot observe any other person
in the field where the parties were, or near the
spot. He observed to them it was an unfortunate
affair, and they all agreed that it was so. They I
inquired of him if there were H house near to cott- 1
duct the deceased to; they being fearful of put.-
ring him to inconvenience ; however, there being
no public-house near, they supported kiln to his
home, which was about four or five hundred yatds
off. The deceased appeared ti him in a dangeront
state ; he was bleedaig very fast. A sitigeon
was sent for with all possible s;a The de-
ceased was laid on a sofa in his parlour, and while
he was lying there he called-or uesiied Mr. Theo-
dore O'Callaghan to come to hilt, eaid held out
his hand to ,halse hoods with bins, loci said he
had behaved in the most honourable, trimmer.
The deceased observed that he'was sensible that
lie was dying, and could not live long. After this
he called the other two prisoner's to him, shook
hands With them, and trade similar observations
to them, and said he forgave dike all. Mr.
O'Callaghan after' this went to Hampsteiid'to get
a coach to convey him from his house, lost in the
mean time Mr. Hood, a surgeon, of Hampstead, ar-
rived in about half an hour from the time of the
fatal shot ; %hen he, after having examined the
wound, said it was impossible to remove him
thence. The shot had entered his right side, pass-
ed through his intestines; and also went through to
the left side, it being only obstructed front com-
ing out by the skiff ; it was visible to the eye.
The shot had carried with it a piece of the cloth
of his coat and other .garments. '1 he. deceased
observed to him that the quarrel which had been
the cause of the duel was not originally a quarrel
of their own, butt it had sprung out of a quarrel of
t ivo of their motoal friends, who were to have
tottght a duel yesterday, and they were to have
been their seconds. Upon recollection, lie would
not be positive whether it was the deceased or
Mr. O'Callaghan who made this observation. He,
however, understood that it was the prisoner
O'Callaghan who shot the deceased. lie did lint
observe any pistols in the possession of either of
the parties, but he found two pistols lying on the
table of his parlour ; none of them owned them,
but he had no doubt of their belonging to them.
They were pro(arced in the office in an unloaded
state ; they were of a large size ; there were no
pistols there before they came into his house.
The deceased lived about two hours, or two hours
and a quarter. All the prisoners paid every pos-
sible attention to the deceased dating the time
he lived.' He heard hint request Mr. Phealan to
write to his .father the full particulars of the whole .
affair, and who, he understood, lived at Liiee-
rick. The deceased had some conversation with
Mr. Pheelan privately, every other person baying
left the room. •
Mr. l'helian then went off to London to pro-
cure more surgical assistance. On Iris return the
deceased had expired.—Mr. Newbult went in the
mean time to inquire for lodgings at Chalk Farm,
or in the neighbourhood. Mr. O'Callaghan went
to Hampstead to procare a coach. They all ap-
peared anxious to do every thing for the deceased,
and did not seem inclined to abscond, but very
readily surrendered.
The prisoners were not called upon for any de-
fence. The Magistrate intormed them the law
did not make any distinction in cases of •murder,
all being considered principals. They must all,
therefore, be detained, It was suggested to the
Magistrate, that site custody was all probably
that he would require, to which he assented, ann
and it was agreed 'hit they should be kept in the
Wateh-house till the decision of the Coronet's
Inquest isknown, %lien it was suggested by the
Magistrate that it %OHS probable he would admit
Mr. Phealan to bail. Ile regretted the Surgeon
haul not attended.

On Wednesday, as the gamekeeper of Sir En w.
Smftng, Bart. pit Acton flume!, -Salop, was en-
deavouring to reach a dick which he'hed shot up-
on a pool, the ice broke in, and he was drowned.
