On November 13th, Mr. Adolphus sent notice to Mr. Alley, that he would be ready to meet him at Calais as soon as ever he chose; the parties being bound over by the magistrates to preserve the peace within this kingdom. Mr. Alley accepted the challenge, and on the 14th set out for Dover, accompanied by Captain Alley, his cousin and second. Two of his intimate friends, Mr. Agar and Mr. Bevil, also voluntarily accompanied him. They arrived at Calais on the 15th, some hours before Mr. Adolphus; and at two o’clock on the 16th, after the preliminary business was arranged by the seconds, the combatants met, a short distance from the town; took their ground; and on the signal being given, they both fired together. Mr. Alley was wounded in the right arm; and the ball from his pistol passed so close to his adversary, as almost to graze his head. Here the business terminated. An eminent surgeon being immediately sent for, extracted the ball from Mr. Alley’s arm. BETWEEN MAJOR LOCKYER AND MR. SUTTON COCHRANE. Cowes, December 12, 1817. On Wednesday a duel was fought here between Major Lockyer and Mr. Sutton Cochrane, recently a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, which proved fatal to the latter, he having received his antagonist’s ball under the right breast, which passed through both ventricles of the heart, and the lungs. These gentlemen, in company with a Mr. Redesdale, a Mr. Hand, and upwards of sixty others, were going out as adventurers to South America, in the ship Grace, Davy master, now lying in these roads, wind-bound. The trifling difference between the parties arose in consequence of an expression of an unguarded nature from the deceased, the evening before, while regaling themselves, with several others, at an inn; he having asserted, that they were all in debt, and were seeking their fortunes. At which the major felt very indignant, and asked, if the other meant to include him? The deceased replied in the affirmative, and declared he would prove his assertion, which he did by giving a very ingenious explanation, observing, that if we were not in debt to any of our fellow-beings, we were all indebted to our Maker. But the major, not considering the explanation satisfactory, insisted on Mr. Cochrane’s meeting him the next morning, at the dawn of day, who very reluctantly fell into the measure, previously declaring that he would not fire himself, but that if his opponent insisted, he would receive his fire. It was agreed that they should both fire at one time; but when the signal was made, it was observed, the deceased never raised his arm to level his pistol, while the ball of his antagonist’s pistol immediately struck the seat of life. When the pistol of the deceased was examined afterwards, it was found neither unstopped nor cocked. The major, and the two seconds, Messrs. Redesdale and Hand, immediately decamped across the water.
