Oct. 21. Sunday morning a duel was fought in a field near Battersea-bridge, between Capt. Leeson and the Reverend Mr. Dunbar, when, after firing their pistols, the matter was accommodated to their mutual satisfaction.
After the duel on Sunday morning, a correspondent says, the Reverend duelist went to perform divine service at a parish church to which he had lately been appointed Curate. In this we think there was nothing wrong; for after trying to take away the life of a fellow creature, nothing can be so proper as to go to prayers, and make our peace with the Deity.
