Kingwesrld, within the liberty cf the town and port of Dover, on the body of a poor Men of the name of Bingham, belonging to Kings-down, a small village, ebiee three miles from Leal.

It appeared also in evidence, that the two antagonists were first cousins, that they had messed together for some time, and the trifling dispute, which ended so fatally, originated in the surv'e. -vor's putting too much salt into their soup. The deceased was of a very restless, unhappy temper, and he constantly urged the survivor to fight him, who, at the time at the dispute, had a complaint in his eyes, and could not, on that acceunt, undertake the combat for several days ; Curing "hitch time the deceased often urged him to settle the dispute, wheaten the above day two seconds were chosen, and the meeting took place.—The Jury returned a verdict of Wilfill Murder against Loris Allguale Foucht, as principal; against Michael Lemantv and Juan Toincleti, the sends, for aiding and abetting in the said duel ; and they have been all committed to sake their trial at the next Assizes for the same. .
