An aflray occurred this morning, in Southwark,
between two young fellows, which had nearly re-
suited In fatal consequences. The scene occurred
in house directly in the rear of the church of St.
Phillip de Neri, kept by Mrs. Davis, with whom
four young girls boarded. Among the visiters at
the house were Hiram s. Rich, known there as
teer These two gallants were jealous of the girls,
and last night they had scuffle together, in which
Rich came off second best. They both met at the
same house this morning, Rich having prepared
himself for an encounter, with heavy cane and
loaded pistol They quarrelled, Of course, and
Rich split his cane by striking Linton over the
head; the latter ran down into the cellar, and
renewed the battle, inAictng severe wounds upon
the head of his rival, who calling out enough, Lin
ton desisted. and Rich seated himself on a settee
on one side OF the room. He drew out his pistol,
and pointing it at Lnton while one Of the girls was
beside him endeavoring to prevent him from using
it, he blazed away, the charge passing between her
arm and body, and entered Linton's leg. Rich
was arrested and held to bail to answer the charge
of assault and battery with intent to kill Linton
is much hurt that it IS considered dangerous to
move him.
