The following account of the proceedings taken by the Superior Court of Law for New Kent County, in consequence of a projected duel between Colonel Graves and Captain Lacy, is from the Virginia Times, of the 23d of May:—The Superior Court of Law for New Kent County tried and determined five several presentments, found by the grand jury against Colonel Richard Graves, in each of which the defendant was charged with a violation of the act to suppress duelling. The case, during the last session of the legislature, had been laid before that body by Captain Archibald Lacy, with the view of removing Colonel Graves from his seat. The several presentments charged Richard Graves; first, with sending a challenge to Archibald Lacy to fight a duel; second, to fight a duel with poison; third, with sending a challenge to Archibald Lacy to fight a duel in the following manner—that two cups should be filled, the one with pure water and the other with deadly poison, and that two tickets should be rolled up and put in a hat, and they, Graves and Lacy, should draw lots who should drink the cup of poison; fourth, with sending a challenge to fight a duel with knives, &c.; and fifth, for challenging him to draw a lot for a cup of poison, which cup was to be drunk by the person to whom the same should fall by allotment. To these charges the defendant pleaded not guilty; and the evidence went to establish the said charges. Verdict, “Not Guilty.” BETWEEN THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY AND MR. BATTIER. May 6, 1824. A duel took place between the Marquis of Londonderry and Ensign Battier, late a cornet of the 10th Royal Hussars, in consequence of a letter which he had published, in reference to his dispute with the officers of that regiment, in which he had stated, that the noble lord “sheltered himself under his rank.” Sir Henry Hardinge, Secretary to the Ordnance, was the Marquis’s second, and the second of Mr. Battier was Colonel Western. They met at a distance of ten paces. Sir Henry gave the choice of his pistols to Colonel Western. The word was given. Lord Londonderry’s shot passed Mr. Battier on the right; while Mr. Battler’s pistol missed fire. The marquis requested his antagonist might have another shot; but this Colonel Western declined, on the part of Mr. Battier, and thus the firing ended.
