Captain Cuthbert, in order to obviate all increasing disturbance in Mount-street, had directed that no carriage should be suffered to pass that way. Lord Lonsdale, who came in his carriage to Mount-street, was consequently obstructed; and finding the impediment insuperable, his temper was somewhat ruffled. Addressing himself, therefore, to Captain Cuthbert, he exclaimed, “You rascal, do you know that I am a peer of the realm?” The Captain immediately replied, “I don’t know that you are a peer; but I know you are a scoundrel, for applying such a term to an officer on duty; and I will make you answer for it.” A meeting, of course, took place, and concluded as stated. BETWEEN LORD LAUDERDALE AND GENERAL ARNOLD. July 2, 1792. Lord Lauderdale attended by the Right Hon. Charles James Fox, and General Arnold with Lord Hawke as his friend, had a meeting near Kilburn Wells, to terminate a misunderstanding which it was found impossible to conciliate. Lord Lauderdale received the General’s fire unhurt, when, his Lordship declining to return the shot, the seconds retired for about ten minutes, and the result was the finishing of the affair. The noble Earl, upon being desired to fire, observed that he did not come there to fire at the General, nor could he retract the offensive expressions; if General Arnold was not satisfied, he might fire till he was. A like rencontre took place a few days before between the noble Earl and the Duke of Richmond. BETWEEN MONS. CHAUVIGNY AND MONS. C. LAMETH. November 8, 1792. This affair, which originated in a difference of opinion, had been undecided for two years. It appears that M. de Chauvigny, having learned the arrival of his antagonist in this country, gave him a meeting, and proposed to fight him, which the latter assented to. The parties fought in a field near the place of Mons. Lameth’s residence, and he was dangerously wounded in the belly. The affair ended by both declaring themselves satisfied, and giving their word of honour that the matter was finally adjusted. The seconds were, for Mons. Chauvigny, the Duke de Pienne and the Count de Chabanc; and for Mons. Lameth, the Duke d’Aiguillon and Mr. Maselet. BETWEEN MR. PUREFOY AND COLONEL ROPER. Maidstone, August 14, 1794. At these assizes this day, Mr. Thomas Purefoy was indicted for the “wilful murder” of Colonel Roper in a duel, which took place on the 21st of December, 1788. The interval which had occurred between that time and the prosecution, was not assignable to the prosecutor, as Mr. Purefoy had, for the greater part of the time, been out of the kingdom.
