[May 1, 
W. Keir, met Captain Macnamara, accom- 
panied by Captain Earry.» The ground mea- 
fured was 12 paces.. They both fired toge- 
ther, by fignal ; Col. Montgomery received 
a ball in his right breaft, and fell; Captain 
Macnamara was weundeu in the groin. Co- 
luncl Montgomery was carried into Chaik 
Farm, where he was laid ona bed, and he 
attempted to fpeak, but the blood choaked 
him. His mouth foamed much, and in about 
five minutes he expired. He was Lieutenant. 
colonel ef the gth regiment of foot, fon 
of Sir Robert Montgomery, of ireland, and 
brother to the Marchionefs Townthend, by 
his father’s fide, He was a handfome, ger- 
tecl, and much refpe&ted young man, aged 
about 28, and had diftirguithed himfelf on 
feveral occafions, inthe Dutch expedition, in 
Egypt, and in Malta. The Coroner’s Inqueft, 
brought in a verdiét of Manflaughter, 
grounded on an opinion, that the words of 
the deevafed, ** Captain Macnamara knows 
Where I ant to be found,” could have no 
other meaning than a challenge. But furely 
there is fome defe& in our laws, if fuch 
murders as this cannot be punifhed capitally. 
If, as they now ftand, they are not adequate to 
punifh fuch offences, we hope that fume al- 
teration will be introcucee J he conduct of 
Sir Richaid Ford and of the other magiftrates 
throughou: the whole bufinefs, has, how- 
€ver, been exemplary and praife-worthy’ 
in the higheft degree. They begun, by 
committing to Newgate Mr. Heavifide, the 
furgeon, who accompanied Captain Macna- 
Mara to the fcene of ation, who ftood by 
Guring the duel, and afterwards opened Co- 
lunel Montgomery. But the bill againft 
him, as an acceffary, was thrown out by the 
Giand Jury. The ieconds have adfconied 
for the prefent. Captain Macnamara has, 
however, been arraigned at the Bar of the 
Old Baily for Manflaughter, the mo& mode- 
rate interpretation of his oftence, but the ~ 
Jury thought proper to find a verdict of Wor 
Guilty! The high character which he re- 
ceived on the trial, as a brave Naval Officer, 
it may be fuppofed, had a powerful influence 
in caufing fuch a verdict. ; 
Of a decline,in his eighteenth year, at his fa- 
ther’s houfe, at Walthamftow, Mr. C. Kava- 
nagh,a very promifing ftudent inthe profeffion 
of medicine. He united to unafteéted fimpli- 
city of manners, and a modeft deportment, a 
comprehenfive mind, acute powers of percep- 
tion,and a retentive memory. The career of 
this young gentleman, though fhort, was 
ftrongly charaéterized by traits ef geniusandun- 
remitting application in the purfuit of fciencee 
In the morning of life his faculties were pet= 
ceptibly expanding, and he was rapidly ad= 
vancing towards proficiency inthe great arcana 
of nature, in the ftudy of phyfiology and che- 
mifiry, fhe main objects of his purfuit were 
- uninterrupted by the fafcination of literary at- 
tainments, and this circumftance, had his life 
been prolonged, weuld probably have faci-
