It appears that the warrants on 
which the livery-servants were ap- 
prehended, and confined in the 
Mount-street -watch-house, were 
forged ; the Justiccs whose names 
appeared to them, having declared 
they signed no warrants whatever 
that day, 
An affair of honour tock place 
early this morning, between the 
Earl of Lonsdale and Captain Cuth- 
bert, of the Guards, which, after 
the discharge of a brace of pistols 
on each side, terminated without 
injury to either party. Lord Lons- 
dale’s last shot would probably have 
been fatal, if the ball had not Juck- 
ily struck against a button of Cap- 
tain Cuthbert, which repelled it. 
The seconds then interfered, and 
matters were amicably adjusted. 
The circumstances which led to this 
hazardous decision were as follow : 
Captain Cuthbert, in order to ob- 
viate all increasing disturbances in 
Mount-street, had directed that no 
-earriage should be suffered to pass 
that way ;—Lord Lonsdale, who 
came in his carriage to Mount- 
Strect, was consequently obstructed; 
and finding the impediment insu- 
perable, his temper was somewhat 
ruffed. Addressing himself, there- 
fore, to Captain Cuthbert, he ex- 
claimed, * You r—s—l, do you 
know that I ama Peer of the 
realm ?” The Captain immediately 
replied, “1 don’t know whether 
you are a Peer, but I know you are 
a s—d—l, for applying such a term 
to an officer on duty; and I will 
“make you answer for it.’”’ A meet- 
ing of course took place, and con- 
cluded as we have stated.

Napper Tandy, upon an indictment 
for sending a challenge to his Ma-
