out the rounds. Suffice it to say, that Kirkman kept the kid for
about half an hour, when Savage seemed to obtain the adv.aat.ge,
and kept it for nearly an equal period of time. In tbe.s7th round
a dispute arose, from the circumstance of I Larry ink having rescised
his man from a perilous situation over the ropes. hitiolatino ;gibe
rules of boxing, which expressly turbid the interference of a seelisd
until the combatant is on the ground. 'fbe umpires disagreed, and
the referee being appealed to, be decided that the fight must go on,
as he saw nothing foul. The tact was, that the seconds of both the
men interfered improperly, as well in this as in ournerotu ocher
instances during the fight. 'After this, the tattle went oa with
mutual advantages, but in a most awkward manner, till the immense
'lumber of one hundred and two rounds bad been roughtoweopyiqg

it was altogether a tedious and a bad light. Kirkman could hit a
little, but Savage not at all. Savage received the most punielunebt
about the head, but his superior condition, and his untiring game,
brought him through. Kiritnian'had scarcely a mark on boo face,
but was obliged to resign, being coMpletely wearied ear. Is is bat
justice to observe that the men behaved with the greateit possible
fairness towards each other, and evinced a deine of courage, that

PRIVILEGES OF FREEMEN OF LONDON.

. The Lord Mayor. and Aldermen bare, by the mouth
of the Recorder, delivered into the Vice-Cliancellor's
Court the answer to the questions proposed in the Court
Hof Aldermen, and discussed before the Court •by Mr.
Shadwell and M►. Serjeant Spankie, about three months
-84„„ The Recorder, upon the occasion, went in robes
different from those which he had been accustomed to

appeared totertify, Ore teems, the custom of the City
.of London, upon the question whether Sir Franis

in the Court of Aldermen, according to the directions
of the Vice-Chanceller's Court, a freeman of London,
within the custom which entitled his widow to the cut.
tomary distribution of the estate of a freeman dying
intestate; and whether the settlement made upon her
marriage debarred her from such customary share ?
'The certificate was as follows;
11, We, the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London,
do certify, that Sir Francis Samuel Drake, Bart. being intestate in
the pleadings in the tabus mentioned in the maned order, who,
whoa a Rear-Admiral of the Red in the Royal Navy, was, in con-
sequence of Lord Rodney's victory in the West Indies, with other
Officers under Lord Ilodney's command, presented with the Free-
dom of the City of London, pursuant to 'a vote el' a Court of
Commit Council of the said City of London, which passed for
that purpose on the 29th of June, 1785, and who, on the sth day
of August, 1784 was made a Liveryman of the Company at
Grocers in the said City of London, and sworn in, and took the
several oaths which are required to be taken by all persons who be.
'come free of the said. City, and who was not free of the said City
by birth, or by servitude, or by purchase, or otherwise than afore.'
said, and di•fd so free as aforesaid, on the !nth day of November,
1799, intestate, and without issue, leaving his Widow him swirly.

of Landes; by virtue whereof the widow having the benefit and
provisions' a the settlement in the pleadings on the said mum
stated, is debarred from her customary share of the intestate's
personal estate."
The decree of the Vice-Chancellor will consequently
be in favour of the claim of Mr. Serjeant Onslow, the
husband of the widow of the intestate. The Learned
Serjeant will be entitled to that customary part which
will exceed the distribution under the Statute. By
having married' the widowof a freeman, he gains, it is
said, in this respect, considerable property. The widow
of a freeman, of course, does not lone her claim by her
marriage with a non-freeman.

needle, or a piece of wood. I told him I had neither,
but I would go and get them. I then went, and p.st
down by the poop-ladder. I saw thertreorae do*o-rrom.
the poop and go below. Immediately afterwards they
came op again, and I heard Lieut. Kenny say, " By
Goa, Mr. Charlton, I will have your life, or you shall
have mine." I then heard the report of pistols, and saw
Mr. Charlton fall. I think it was about five or six mi-
nutes after they came up from below that I heard they
pistols goal': Mr. Kenny appeared to bt in liquor. I
then ran up the poop-, and got the pistols, and took them
to the cuddy. I saw no powder or shot on the poop.
Before the pistols went off I heard Mr. Charlton say,
" We had better wait until the morning, at eight o'clock."
I did not hear Lieut. Kenny's reply.
James Harpler, seaman, sworn—l had the helm from
10 to 12 o'clock on the night.of the 23d of Aptil. As
about ten minutes before 12 o'clock I saw Mr. Charlton
and Lieut. Kenny come on Ae poop; they then went
aft, and sat by the rudder head ; I then saw Mr. Chad-
ton and Lieut. Kenny take each a pistol from his jacket
sleeve. The next thing I saw I took to be a powder
flask ; Lieut. Kenny had this ;• I saw Lit ut. Kenny give
the D ctor some powder from the ff isk, with which 1
law him prime the pistol. Lieur. Kenny then said, "Are
you ready now ?" and Mr. Charlton said, " Yes." Mr.
Kenny said, " S.ep forward, and I will stop here;" and
directly the Doct tr came forward, and stood against the
wizen mast. Lieut. Kenny then to de his cap and hand-
kerchief, and threw them up between them, and both
their pistols flashed, but did not go off. The Doctor
then went aft to Mr. Kenny, and got some more powder
from him, and primed his pistol again, and Mr. Kenny
primed his also. Mr. Kenny then said, "Go;" and AO
latter returned to the mitten mast. Mr. Kenny 'theft'
'waved his cap and handkerchief again, and the-pistols
flashed a second time. Mr. Charlton then threw his
pistol downwards with his arm, and said, " the
pistol," and then went up to Mr. Kenny, and laid the
pistol alongside of him, and came forward to one of
the seamen named Dwyer, and asked him for a pin or
a needle, or a piece of wood; the man said he hid none.
Mr. Charlton then came to me, and asked me if I bad
one ; I told hid) no, and he then told Dwyer to go down
and get him a piece of stick ; Dwyer went-down, and a
little time afterwards Mr. Charlton said to Mr. Kenny,
He is not coming with the piece of woo4—we had
better go down again." They thin both went below
from the poop. When they first !Nought up the pistols,
I saw Mr. Oakes, the officer of the watch, go below to
call the Captain. About five minutes afterwards, Lieut.
Kenny and Mr. Chat lion went below ; I saw them come
up again, and as Lieutenant Kenny was passing Mr.
Charlton, I heard Lieut. Kenny say to him. "Yon are
a blackguard, you are afraid." The Doctor's reply was,
"No, no, lam not afraid is the least." Lieut. Kenny
then went aft, and the Doctor went to the same place
by the mizen mast, where he stood before. I then saw
Lieut. Kenny hold up his hand, and they both fired
together. Lieut. Kenny then put his hand to his head,
and said, " I am shot, I am shot !" and Mr. Charlton
put his hand to his heart, and fell upon the hen coop.
He never spoke a word.
Edward Sellers, a seaman, swot n—On the night in
question I heard the report of pistols; I ran aft, and
was informed that it was on the poop. I went to the
poop, and saw Mr. Charlton, the surgeon, lying on the
hen coop, apparently dead. I saw Lieuteqant Kenny,
and seized him by the arm, and I said, " I will sktire
hits." Several of my shipmatei did the same, iind
Lieutenant Kenny said, 4.• You are all Man (4- war's
men; do witli me as you like—throw me overboard if
you like." I then assisted in carrying the bodr. of Mr.
Chat lton to the quaver-deck.l7 it.
This was the whole of the ev.ideLtise..
Sir It. DIME, addressing Lieut.; -Kenny, said—" You are aware
of the nature of the charge apinst you, Mr. Kenny, and it is of
course toy duty to hear any thing you may have to offer in your
defence; but perhaps it would be better for you, in your situation,
to abstain from saving anything in the present nate Isf the inquiry."
