Society, of which the Hon. Member is a well known supporter,
for certain debts doe to hint. He made a long statement about
travelling round the country for Mr. Martin, and performing other
Aces, for which be was promised payment, but neither he nor the
Society would pay hint, although he had made repeated applications.
Wheeler made other statements about the Society, which being
ovate, we avoid mentioning.

Offices,he must be well ;ware that it was not the province of i Ma-
gistrate to interfere with such debts, but that a civil action was his
only remedy.

M'Culloch, of Great Quebec-street, against Mr. aeries Brown, a

whom she represented as having agreed to fight a duel. The Lady
stated, that in the course of conversation at dinner, Mr. Brown
spoke disrespectfully of the army, which being resented by Mr.
Carter, a challenge ensued, and she believed a meeting would forth-
with take place, unless by some means it could be prevented. A
warrant was immediately put into the hands of Hewitt, the chief
°dicer' who soon apprehended Mr. Brown.

Mr. Drown remarked r—" It is only a Lady's fear ;it is ridiculous
thing altogether—the mere fear of a Lady—a mere hysterical fear."

in the fear of a Lady. He would put him to as little inconvenience
as possible, but be must enter into his own recognizance of 250 to
keep the peace.--After many objections, finding be could not be
liberated on other terms, Mr. Brown gave the security required.
