Killed in a duel, near Liverpool, Edward 
Brookes, efq., formerly a major in one of the 
battalions of Royal Lancafhire volunteers, by 
John Bolton, efg., colonel-of the firft regi- 
ment of Loyal Liverpool volunteers. About 
twelve months ago a quarrel arofe between 
them ona matter of bufinefs. The colonel 
was chairman of a committee on an affair in 
which the interefts of the Major were con- 
cerned, and, not having conducted himfelf 
to his fatisfaétion, the Major fent the Colo- 
nel a challenge. Theconfequence was, that 
a meeting was agreed on; but, either from 
accident or defign, the parties did not attend 
at the time and place appointed. Before a 
fecond rendezvous was adjufted, they were 
taken into cuftody, and bound over, in a 
heavy penalty, to keep the peace ; after 
which their animofity increafed daily, each 
reproaching the other with having informed’ 
the officers of juftice of their intention to 
fight, and thereby occafioned the arreft. Be- 
fore the expiration of the time for which they 
were bound, it was rumoured that it was the 
intention of the Major to call out the Colo- 
nel a fecond time, the moment it was elapf- 
ed. This induced the Colonel to be before- 
Rand with him ; and the very day on which 
they were releafed from their penalty, the 
Major received an invitation to meet the Co- 
lonel, at five o'clock, at.the outfkirts of the 
town. The Major was punctual to the time, 
and was attended by Mr. Forbes, and the 
Colonel by Mr. Harris. Colonel Bolton’s 
carriage flood at a diftance waiting for him. 
When onthe ground, the Colonel obferved 
to his opponent, that, ‘* agreeably to the 
cuftom of duelling, he believed he (the Ma- 
jor) was entitled to the firft fire.” This was 
aflented to, and the Major fired without ef- 
feet ; the Colonel immediately returned it, 
when the ball penetrated the head of the 
Major, a little above the right eye, and he 
fell. Afiftance was at hand, but he expired 
almoft inftantly. The Colonel was attended 
to his carriage by fome of his friends, and 
drove off; fince which he has not been heard 
of.—Verdi&, wilful Murder.
