About month back meeting took place
near Highgatc, in which one of the parties,
at the second discharge of arms, received
his antagonists fire in the thigh. An eminent
surgeon was in attendance, and though there
was copious discharge of blood he did not
consider the wound of very dangerous ma
ture. After applying styptics, the invalid
was conveyed to the house of friend, in the
ncighbourhood, when the ball was Carefully
extracted, the wound re-tlressed, and the
patient seemed to enjoy tranquility during
that night and the following day; when, as
the orihce gradually filed up, he complan-
