This day, a duel, which terminated fatally, was fought in Battersea fields, between Mr. Lambrecht, who had formerly served as a lieutenant in the 43rd regiment, in America and at Waterloo, and Mr. Oliver Clayton, a literary gentleman from Ireland. Before daylight, Mr. Clayton proceeded with his second, Mr. Bigley, to Battersea fields, where Mr. Lambrecht and his second. Lieutenant Cox, were waiting his arrival. It was a little after six when all the parties took the ground. After a short conversation, the signal being given, the pistols were fired; and Mr. Lambrecht’s ball passing through Mr. Clayton’s body, he immediately fell. He was conveyed to the Red House, where he died at seven in the evening. The quarrel took place at Wood’s hotel, Panton Square, during a discussion respecting the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill, of which the deceased, who had renounced that faith, had been a warm opponent. During the discussion, Mr. Lambrecht called him a hypocrite; and this led to the duel. The jury who sat on the body brought in a verdict of “Wilful murder” against Mr. Lambrecht, the principal, and Lieutenant Cox and Mr. Bigley, the seconds; and the coroner’s warrant was issued for their apprehension. On Wednesday, the 13th, Mr. Lambrecht, who had surrendered himself, was brought to Union Hall for examination. After the duel, the unhappy man returned to town; but withdrew from his usual residence, fearing that he should be discovered, and wandered about the streets for three nights. On Tuesday evening, being quite exhausted, he went into a public-house, where he drank to excess, and then gave himself up to a police-officer. After making the statement which will hereafter be given, Mr. Chambers, the magistrate, told him that it was a most serious business, and that he must prepare himself for the worst, as the law would be carried to the fullest extent. The parties were all committed to prison, to take their trial for the offence.
