At Alnwick, on the 30th of June, after the close of the election for the county of Northumberland, at which Mr. Beaumont, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Bell, and Lord Howick were the candidates, Mr. Beaumont, while Lord Howick was addressing the freeholders, advanced and said, “I will now drag forth, not Lord Howick, but the head and front of all these proceedings. I accuse Mr. Lambton of prompting Lord Howick; which I have seen him do at every sentence of his speech.” Mr. Lambton declared he had not. Upon which, Mr. Beaumont called out, “Mr. Lambton, gentlemen, says it is not the fact; I say it is false.” Mr. Lambton instantly stepped forward and said, “I am ready to wave any intention of addressing you upon a matter relating personally to myself, being perfectly confident, that what has just occurred requires a very different answer from any which it can receive from these hustings, and which, let Mr. Beaumont be assured, it most certainly shall have. Can any one who heard Lord Howick believe that he wanted any man’s whisper to give utterance to his sentiments?

They, therefore, made the best of their way to Belford, North Durham; from which they passed to a field adjoining the strand at Bamborough; where, about three in the afternoon, and amidst heavy rain, Mr. Lambton and Mr. Beaumont were placed on the ground, at a distance of twelve paces, and immediately exchanged shots, without effect. Captain Plunkett was preparing to re-load Mr. Beaumont’s pistol, when General Grey stepped up to him, and said that enough had been done for the honour of the parties, and that Mr. Lambton had never thought of requiring an apology. Captain Plunkett replied, that his friend was there for the purpose of giving satisfaction; but that if General Grey thought proper to withdraw Mr. Lambton, he, Captain Plunkett, must necessarily withdraw Mr. Beaumont. Mr. Lambton was then
