Com. Elliott replied that he was mistaken ia The
facts that Court of Inquiry upon the battle Of Lake

Major Me Donald denied this, and continued his vi.

When the stopped IN Broad street, several
gentlemen requested the Commodore to take no
notice Of this man, as he seemed UNIV orthy of or
if he did, merely to give him Gaming. He replied
that such was his intention, but he first wished to
make gentleman of the man by the offer OF his
card aud he had refused that, a Gaming was
due. He then approached Mcdonald, aud struck
him with scufle ensued, in which Nc
