4DkuthE6 SCOTT:

•
Yesterday evening, at half-past 'five o'clock, the
kquest in this case was resumed.
Moans Joseph Pettigrew, surgeon, was sworn aftd exa-
iierd.—Lives at Spring-gardens; bad no knowledge of the de-
lta until the day on which the occurrence happened; met
linst'half-put seven on the evening alluded to; was requested
ssisrd professional assistance, should such be requisite, by a
find of Mr. Scott. Who was that friend?"—" Mr. Patt-
tore Having arrived at Chalk Farm, and reached nearly
et top of the bill, he perceived some Gentlemen in the field be-
le him, and almost immediately afterwards pistols were die-
dried. In answer to a question from the Coroner, witness
id, that he did not know any of the Gentlemen in the field
kinr him, except Mr. Pattmore, nor should he know them
es. Had you spoken to any of the Gentlemen previous to
it irst discharge ?—I bad called to Mr. Pattmore. What did
warm: to him ?—I believe what I said was, Mr. Pattmore,
sirs? He replied by repeating my name. What then took
plat?—The whole of what be observed between the time he
ide to Mr. Pattmore and the firing, was a priming of the
Mob; be believed the reply Mr. Pattmore made to him was,
douching had taken place. At what distance were the par-
taken each other at that time?—l cannot say; there was a
hip iitervening between me and the party; I could discern
don; sone individuals with Mr. Pattmore were close Lei the
lags. Be saw two Gentlemen walking about, which he pre-
mei Milne been when they were measuring the distance; he
disothow who they were ; it was moonlight, but foggy ; he
lord no conversation between the Gentlemen prior to the dis-
' Mtge of the pistols ; heard an exclamation after the discharge,
re sot oler the Madge. I found Mr. Scott on his knees, and
IPattmore told me that he, Mr. Scott, was wounded. Mr.
hat placed his hand on his side, pointing out to me the part in
lich he had been struck; I proceeded to examine the wound
*despot, and found an opening between the lower rib and the
leinno of the right side. Mr. Scott fainted, but soon, by at-
tain, recovered ; although the ball appeared to have perfo-
zed the cavity of the abdomen, his speedy revival from the
opt*, added to the small discharge of blood which bad taken
Ike from the wound, satisfied me that ne large internal blood.
mil had been injured ; and I therefore recommended that,
kinder to afford him every possible assistance under such ac-
quittances, he should be conveyed to town as soon as possible.
SIM were two Gentlemen, whom he understood to be Mr.
Citistie and his friend ; did not know who that friend was, and
lid sot seen him since. Mr. Christie asked me what I thought
ithe wound ? I replied to Mr. Christie, that I feared the
wand was mortal, in the hearing of Mr. Scott ; when he ad-
hued Mr. Scott, and expressed a wish " that he had been in
It. Scott's situation, rather than Mr. Scott should have been
"sided by him." Mr. Scott then said, " Whatever may be
le hole of this case; I beg you all to bear in remembrance that
torything has been fair and honourable."
The CORONselt asked witness if he considered himself bound.
Ink way of his profession, to obey such summonses? Witness
he never refused to attend when called upon, even by the
ant abject individual.
Witness being asked if he did not hear it said on the ground
if Mr Christie, that he had fired down the field? replied, I did,
II the best of my recollection. Mr. Christie said, " Why was I
rwaitted to fire n second time? I discharged my pistol down
le field before ; I could do no more." These expressions were
sale in consequence of some altercation which took place be-
wets the seconds. Mr. Christie took Mr. Scott by the hand
(take was wounded, and witness desired him to stand away,
In Scott being at that time about to faint; did not hear him
Wit Mr. Scott a good night. Mr. Pattmore stated to witness,
arse day. after the occurrence, that if Mr. Christie and his
End had agreed that he should not return Mr. Scott's ire, Mr.
%bile's friend was bound, after the fire, to have communicated
Intim the conduct pursued by Mr. Christie, of which he, Mr.
littmote, was entirely ignorant.
RtiGiam Beville Maurice, pupil to Mr. Pettigrew, cenfirmed
Pt of the latter's statement.

A Bow-street Petrole said, that he received information of the
id. lltt his arrival at the Farm, he was told that all die par-
ks rate two had escaped; they were not given into his custody.
11r. Watson was called In to contradict this stAtement ; he
Inc Mr. Pattmore into the custody of the officer, but he had
ewe escaped.—The Jury condemned the officer for not having
esd with more promptitude in apprehending the parties.
Two Postillions were examined, and merely proved that they
Wive the parties to the ground. .
This concluded the evidence ; and the Cozonza recapitulated
ite testimony of the whole of the witnesses. He regretted that
%panic/ had ended their differences so very unhappily. After
ding a review of the whole of the circumstances, he remarked
tloli the diCerent parts of the evidence, especially where it
Oiled to their favour-
,ne Jury adjourned to an adjacent apartment, and, after de-
otrating aLout half an hour, delivered their Verdict— Witial
(trio against .11r. Cluistie, Mr. Dail, and Mr. Pattnaorei.
ne Coroner issued his warrant for their apprehension.—The
billegt Was not over tia twelve o'cliack.
