The Islas of a (foe% width took place on Tuesday
'vesting at Tipperary, between a most respectable
Attorney named S—w, sad a private Gentleman
named t'' k, created mach conversation lis town •
yesterday. The story, u communicated to us; is this : ,
Mr. S. had sued Mr. floe behalf of one of his clients
who caused a marked wrjt to be issued again's& him ;
Mr. C. was arrested, sad is said to have supped • pis-
tol at the Bailiff, who preferred loolgiag isformations
before a Magisuate fp takiag the law in hit own hands.
A t was granted, anti the Bailiff, in seeking for
his mss, created sowe'inconvenience to the ladles of Mr.
C's., family, which exesperated Mr. U. so much, that a
personal rancontre with Mr. S. was the consevenca :
a message was then sent, and received. They were to
have fought at Abbeyleix, and seinsegaently at Kilkenny,
but having been bound over at both these places, they
at last met between the smell Boon of Tipperary and a
village called Killenasle. They fought at eight pun
distance; on the first fire Mr. U.'s ball struck Mr.
S. in the right temple, and entered his bead ; he instantly
dropped, covered with gore; but little hopes of recovery
were entertained when the last accounts cense away.
Yesterday evening we conversed upon this melancholy
subect with two Gentlemen from the neighbourhood
of Killeasule. Mr. Shaw expired on Tuesday evening,
and was interred on 'fbursday morning. Th. particu-
lars mentioned in the preceding paragraphs are ash-
standally correct, except that the nit was *vanes Mr.
Daniel Cooke, and that it was his half-brother, a
yrrease gentleman. Mr: trillion Cooke, that was can-
s is the mull and is the duel. —(ireterfierdifir.
