BETWEEN J. P. CURRAN, ESQ., M.P., AND MAJOR HOBART.L April 1, 1790. A duel was fought in Luttrelstown, between J. P. Curran, Esq., M.P., and Major Hobart, secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, occasioned by some words spoken in Parliament. The meeting was at the Hermitage, one of Lord Carhampton’s seats. Mr. Curran was attended by Mr. Egan; Major Hobart, by Lord Carhampton. Being put to their ground, and having agreed to fire as they chose, Mr. Curran fired first, without effect; whereupon Major Hobart said, he hoped Mr. Curran was satisfied. Mr. Egan then called out to Major Hobart that he had not fired, as did Mr. Curran. The Major advancing a step or two towards Mr. Curran, repeated what he had said before. Mr. Curran replied, “I am sorry, Sir, you have taken this advantage; but you have made it impossible for me not to be satisfied.” BETWEEN SIR GEORGE RAMSAY AND CAPTAIN MACRAE. Edinburgh, April 15, 1790. A duel was fought yesterday, near this city. The parties were Sir George Ramsay and Captain Macrae. The circumstances are as follows:— A servant of Sir George’s, keeping a chair at the door of the Edinburgh Theatre, was ordered by Captain Macrae to remove it. On his objecting, some words ensued; and the fracas concluded in Captain Macrae chastising the servant very severely. Meeting the next day with Sir George Ramsay, he insisted on his dismissing the man from his service. This was refused, on the ground, that whatever was the misconduct of the servant, he had already received a sufficient punishment. A challenge was the immediate consequence of this refusal. The parties met on Musselborough Links, Sir George Ramsay accompanied by Sir William Maxwell, and Captain Macrae by Mr. Hay. The former fired first, but without effect; Captain Macrae returned the fire, and lodged his ball near the heart of his antagonist. Sir George languished in much agony until Friday morning, when he expired. He was a gentleman of the most amiable character and disposition; and had but lately married a beautiful young lady, the sister of Lord Saltoun. Captain Macrae and his second immediately fled. The poor fellow, on whose account this duel happened, no sooner heard of his master’s fate than he fell into strong convulsions, and died in the course of a few hours. July, 1790. On Monday, the High Court of Justiciary met at Edinburgh, for the trial of James Macrae, of Hollmains, indicted at the instance of the Hon. Lady Ramsay, and Sir William Ramsay, of Banff, Bart., and of his Majesty Advocate, for the murder of the late Sir George Ramsay, Bart., on the 14th of April last. Mr. Macrae not having appeared to stand trial, sentence of fugitation (outlawry) was pronounced against him. BETWEEN MR. STEPHENS AND MR. ANDERSON. Margate, Sept. 21, 1790.
