deadly weapons to the vratterroexif the font passengers, and
the imminent hazard of their own personal safety.
Collyer and Carpenter were the principals in the fight, Bon-
field Bartlett being the second of Collyer ; and the ofair of honour
between these redoubtable heroes was brought about, as many
other affairs of this kind are among greater men, by the caprice,
coquetry, or something else, of One of the fair sez. Collyer
had been /Practising all " love's artillery" upon a young milliner,
who to him was everything that " youthful poets fancy when
they love," and believed that he bad Weedy made great progress
in awakening sentiments of a reciprocal kind, when all his bliss-
ful visions were Suddenly dispelled; for hcivas waiting one
evening -in anxious expectation of the arrival Of:his mistress, at
a particular spot, according to appointment, t'vheti she all at
once burst upon his astonished sight, leaning upon the arm
of Mr. Carpenter, and patting him familiarly on the cheek.
His feelings were too big for utterance, and fearing to trust
himself in their presence at such a moment, he ran home
and betook himself to his garret, in London House-yard.—
Here, after sundry attempts, he produced an epistle, suitable as
he thought to 'the occasion, and availing himself of that ready
channel of communication, the twopenny post, dispatched it next
morning to Mr. Carpenter. This note contained a challenge to
the latter to meet him, giving hint the choice of time, place, and
weapons. Carpenter, on the receipt thereof, returned this very
proper answer--" Jemmy, my lad, if you trouble me with any
more of your nonsense about duels, I shall thump you well, and
if that will not do I must apply to your mother.—G. C." The
valiant Mr. Collyer, however, was not so easily put down. Ile
wrote another letter to Carpenter, in which the germ "coward"
Was This was too much, and Carpenter determined to
meet him at the place appointed, namely, the bottom of Saint
Martin's-lane, not, however, intending to use any other/weapons
than those furnished him by Nature. Ile found Collyer there,
attended by Bartlett, and the latter immediately produced two
sword canes, which he'drew, and presented one to each. Car-
penter objected to that mode) but Callyer, plating his back
against a house, took his rapier in his right hand, and puttiug his
kit before his face, called out, " Come on, rat-catcher—come
on I" At this critical moment the watchman made his appear-
ance, and before they could disperse he called others to his
assistance, and they were conveyed to the watch-house, a place
well calculated to cool any remains of courage they might have.
The Magistrate (Mr. Hatts), after giving these silly boys a
severe reprimand, discharged Carpenter, and ordered the other
two to find sureties to keep the peace.
IHTORTAIST TO PAINTIML—Last night an informer, named
ILnwell, came before THOMAS HALLS, Esq„.and presented an
Information against Alr. Clown, printer, of the Strand, " for
having printed and published, or caused to be printed and pub-
halted, a certain hand-bill, offering a reward for the recovery of
a watch, which a Gentlenian lost at Drury-lane Theatre, which
ihand-bill had not the name and address of the printer therein,
contrary to the 39th Geo. 111. cap. 79." Upon reference to
one of the clauses of the Act, the Magistrate found the penalty
was £QO for every bill published without the printer's name, and
every person who assisted in the publication was also liabk.--
The informer said that one of the same band-bills had been stock
up in Bow-street Office, and that had no printer's name to it.—
The Magistrate said, that according to the Act of Parliament,
an information might be brOught against, him and his brother
Magistrates, " for assisting in circulating the bill without a
printer's name," as they had allowed it to be stuck tip in the
office, and on,that account be did not think it would be proper
for him to receive the information.—c-The informer left the office,
' intimating that he would proceed to another hlagistrate.
