BOMBAY SESnIONS, JAN. 17.

ItEXth WM. m.min, WM. RANDALL, AND ItT. FULTON),

This was an indictment for murder, for killing in
a duel Robot K. CeiSe.—«'m. Bland was Surgeon
of the Hesper, Wut. Randall, First Lietitunant, Rt.
Fulton, Master, and the deceased was Purser of the
same ship. The acctunt of the origin of the quarrel
was very imperfect. The prisoner, the sicced 'ed, Dr.
Bacon, Mr. Buchanan, and some other gentltmen
were dining together at the mess table. Atter din-
ner the i horn. r Eland, related to Mr. Bacon seme
transactions theft had previously occurred, which
the deceased was concerned. Some part of the tat-
tion was considered by him to be an aspcf stun ttn his
character. It was alleged, but nut proved Ity any of
the witnesses, that he applied the words contempti.
We fellow," to Bland, who threw a tumbler at him.
For this outrage the prisoner apologised to the gen-
tlemen at table; and though the deceased said he
must have satisfaction fur the insult, the company
continued to drink and converse without any diminu-
tion of harmony. From various circumstances it ap.
geared that it was not the intention of Case' to have
called Bland out ; but the.insult ke had received hay-
itig transpired, he was censured for pusillanimity by
many orti:ers, particularly by the prisoner Randall,
who applied harsh expressions to his touduct and cha.
tacter.

The parties met on Cross 'lsland. Mr. Fulton act.
led as Case's second ; and Lieutenant Randall, though
likely to become a combatant, officiated as the second
of Bland. Previously to the parties taking their
ground, Mr. Buchanan, who was present, said to
Bland, 44 You had better drop it." Upon which Mr.
Randall interfered, and repl►ed 66 It was too bad for
a man's character to be blasted round the fleet. He
had better be dead than alive ; he did not come there
to be made a fool ot. He hoped the powder and shot
would not be wasted in vain." The parties fired at
the same time ; Mr. Case fell ; a ball had entered
near the navel ;*. be exclaimed, "I am a dead man."
He was carried on board, but expired the next day.
Mr. Fulton was acquitted, and Bland and Randall
sentenced to be transported to New South Wales ; the
former for seven yenrs, and the fatter for eight.

As Mr. Gs Richards and Mr. G. Mytin were pro-
ceeding, in April last, in a chaise on the road from
Salt Rivet to Spanish 'lown,Janosica, the horse took
fright, and overturned the Chnisr, by which accident
Mr. Myths was killed on therspnt, and Mt. Richards
SO. severely *monied, as to render hirreecevery hopeless
