G A NESTERS APPRE4I ENDED.

In consequence of information having been given to the Ma-
gistrates at the Police Office, Union Hall, Southwark," That
a set of old and young gamblers met nightly at No, 14, Lambeth-
road, near the Obelisk, St. George's-fields, at the unlawful games
of hazard and rouge et noir—that the same were a great annoy..
ance to the peaceable housekeepers in the neighbourhood, in
their sallying forth at unseasonable hours in the night and morn-
ing, at two, three, four, and five o'clock, from their rendezvous,
after their games were over, making great noise and disturb-
' ance at those times;" in order to suppress so great a nuisance,
Mr. Reeves, the Chief Clerk to the above Magistrates, pro-
ceeded on Saturday nighr, about eight o'clock, with a formi-
dable body of Police Officers and Constables to execute a war-
rant for the apprehension of all the persons to be found in the
act of gaming at the above house. The Officers effected their
entrance by assuming a feigned voice at the street door, and an-
swering to the person at the inside," Open the door, 'tis Bill ;"
which voice was supposed by the person inside to be one Bill
Lumley, the porter, or door-opener, of the said gaming-house,
who ia a prisoner for debt in the rules of the King's Bench, and
who used nightly to give admission to the gamesters. When
the Police Officers had got a sure footing on the inside, they
went up stairs, and in the front room of the first floor they sur-
prised a host of gamesters playing at rouge et noir. On the tables
they seized about sew in cash, several packs of cards, wooden
rakes or apparatus used at the game, dice and dice-boxes. The •
rouge et noir table was covered with green, and quartered with
black and red cloth. Alt. Reeves, assisted by the second Clerk
to the Magistrates, having ordered silence and attention in the
King's name, read the warrant he had to execute on the pre-
mises; and having so done, he then demanded of all persona
present to give hint their names, occupations, and address,
which they accordingly did, and the same were written down
by the second Clerk. The persons so found gaming, there being
sixteen present, were then handcuffed, and put in three separate
coaches, and conveyed to a prison-house in the Borough for safe
custody, previous to an examination before the Magistrates this
day, when they will be amenable for their unlawful proceedings
with the proprietor of the gaming-house and the coupier and
dealer of the cards at rouge et noir. A large mahogany hazard
table, having a black ring painted in the centre, edged with
white wood encircling it, and a large brass lamp with three
burners, found suspended over the table in the room where the
gamesters were sitting playing at rouge rt noir were taken away
as trophies by the Officers, and left at Union Hall.

DUEL.—Friday se'nnight, a meeting took place at
Casdelough, near Killarney, between JAMES DEANE,
Esq. and JEREMIAH CUFF, Esq. both of that town,
when, after two shots being exchanged, the former
Gentleman received his antagonist's fire in his left
side. The ball was extracted on the ground, but Mr.,
D. is in a most precarious situation. The former was
attended by NICHOLAS Nlaws, Esq. and the latt,er
by DANIEL GORM SUSSIVAN, Esq.
