The following are the particulars of a fatal duel which took place at Montmartre, near Paris, on the 6th of October, between Captain Pellew and Lieutenant Walsh:—Mr. Walsh not long since exchanged from the Life Guards, in which corps Captain Pellew held his commission. Previously to Mr. Walsh’s quitting the regiment, he had resided with his wife a good deal in the barracks in Hyde Park; where, being young and thoughtless, she unhappily received with too much readiness those attentions which military men too often think themselves at liberty to pay to every female. The consequences were such as might be expected to result from such infatuation. A close attachment was formed between Captain Pellew and the lady; and at length, in a fatal moment, she agreed to sacrifice her character, by eloping with the object of her blind affection. About a month before the duel she went off with him from her father’s house, where she had been residing for some time, during the absence of her husband. They repaired to Paris, whither they were followed by Mr. Walsh; he preferring what is called the satisfaction of a gentleman, to pursuing any legal means of redress. A meeting was arranged: the distance agreed upon was twelve full paces, and they were to fire together by signal. When that was given, the pistol of Mr. Walsh was immediately discharged. Captain Pellew did not fire; and it is said he never intended to do so. Mr. Walsh’s ball passed through the right temple into the brain of Captain Pellew, who instantly expired. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHAPTER III DUELS IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES, FROM 1820 TO 1841. BETWEEN MR. GRATTAN AND LORD CLARE. June 11, 1820. Mr. Grattan, son of the deceased patriot, having, at a public meeting in Dublin, made use of expressions which Lord Clare conceived to reflect upon the late Lord Clare, his father, and having declined either to explain or to justify them, the parties met in Hyde Park; when Mr. Grattan, having received Lord Clare’s fire, instantly fired in the air. The friends present having given their opinion, that the affair could proceed no further, Mr. Grattan said, that having now met Lord Clare in the field, and given him the satisfaction required, he was willing to admit he was in the wrong, in having made use of such expressions. Upon which the parties shook hands, and the affair terminated. BETWEEN T. HUNGERFORD, ESQ. AND R. TRAVERS, ESQ. August 13, 1820.
