Eight paces were first measured by the seconds, and afterwards the contending parties took their ground. They tossed up for the first fire, which Mr. Riddell won. Mr. Riddell fired, and shot Mr. Cunningham under the right breast, the ball passing, as is supposed, through the ribs, and lodging on the left side near the back. The moment Mr. Cunningham received the shot he reeled, but did not fall. He opened his waistcoat, and declared he was mortally wounded. Mr. Riddell still remained on his ground, when Mr. Cunningham, after a pause of two minutes, declared he would not be taken off the field till he had fired at his adversary. Mr. Cunningham then presented his pistol, and shot Mr. Riddell in the groin; he immediately fell, and was carried in a hackney-coach to Mr. Topham’s. The unhappy man lingered until seven o’clock on Tuesday morning, and then expired. Wednesday, April 23. The coroner’s inquest sat on the body of George Riddell, Esq., who was killed in the rencontre, as above related. The jury sat four hours; and after a very strict examination of the seconds, and a servant of the deceased, brought in their verdict, “Manslaughter.” BETWEEN CAPTAIN I—— AND COLONEL P——. June, 1783. On the 31st ult. a duel was fought near Bangor Ferry, Caernarvonshire, between Captain I—— and Colonel P——. In consequence of several disputes which had happened relating to the Anglesea militia, and a challenge given, some time ago, by Captain I—— to Colonel P——, they were bound over to preserve the peace for a year. That time having expired, Captain I—— sent a message, that he should be at the Ferry-house, at six o’clock, on Saturday morning, attended by Captain M——. The parties met. The seconds marked the ground at twelve paces, and tossed up for the first fire, which Colonel P—— gained. He fired, and shot Captain I—— in the right thigh, who strove to return the fire, but his pistol missed. Captain I—— then demanded a second shot; which not being immediately complied with, he was unable to bear longer on his thigh, and was carried off by the assistance of the seconds. BETWEEN THE HON. COLONEL COSMO GORDON AND LIEUT.-COLONEL THOMAS. September 4, 1783.
