The following curious circumstance occurred at the funeral of M. Manuel. When the body arrived at the church of St. Denys, in the Rue Caumartin, the authorities refused to receive it, because M. Manuel had been killed in a duel. The populace, however, insisted on its being received, and, after some delay, it was taken in. It was then found that no priest was present to perform the necessary rites: a second disturbance took place, and at length one appeared, but not habited in his canonicals; a fresh outcry, however, induced the priest to robe himself, and the service was performed in the usual manner. The body was afterwards carried to the cemetery of Père la Chaise, and there interred. BETWEEN MR. WILLIAM BRITTLEBANK AND MR. CUDDIE. May 22, 1821. Mr. Cuddie, a Scotchman by birth, and a surgeon in the navy, came about four years before to reside at Winster, where he began to practise his profession. An attachment had subsisted for some time before his death between himself and Miss Brittlebank, the daughter of an eminent solicitor in the same town; and as she was in a delicate state of health, he had frequent opportunities of seeing her in his medical capacity. Mr. Cuddie’s attentions to the lady met with the decided disapprobation of her family, and it was expressed to him in the strongest terms. On Monday, the 21st of May, Mr. Cuddie and Miss Brittlebank were met, whilst walking together, by Mr. William Brittlebank, her brother; who took his sister away, after some harsh words had been exchanged between himself and Mr. Cuddie. So improper did the language of Mr. Cuddie appear to Mr. William Brittlebank, that he sent a challenge to him on the evening of the same day. To this Mr. Cuddie returned no answer, and another messenger was dispatched to him on the same errand the following morning, who was informed by Mr. Cuddie that he would not meet Mr. William Brittlebank, and therefore should not reply to his note. In consequence of this, Mr. Spencer, a surgeon, residing at Bakewell, a friend of both the parties, was sent for by Mr. W. Brittlebank. He came, and about three o’clock in the afternoon Mr. William and Mr. Francis Brittlebank, accompanied by Mr. Spencer, proceeded to Mr. Cuddie’s house. They were here joined by Mr. Andrew Brittlebank; when Mr. Spencer, going into the house, informed Mr. Cuddie, that he must either make some apology to Mr. William Brittlebank or fight. It is stated that he again declined to do either the one or the other. Subsequently, however, he appears to have consented to give Mr. W. Brittlebank the satisfaction he required: pistols were furnished by Mr. Spencer to the parties: they separated to a distance of fifteen yards on the gravel walk in Mr. Cuddie’s garden, and on the signal being given they fired. Mr. Cuddie unhappily received the shot of his antagonist in his bowels, and died on the following day.
