The debate in the other Room, the day before, was very spirited. L--d C---n attacked L--d M---d. He said his L--p's paper, given to the clerk the day before (Monday last) he considered as a challenge to himself; that his L---p had thrown down the glove, and he was determined to take it up. He then proposed to L. M--d three questions, and demanded answers to them: L. M.-d replied, it was again that he was taken by surprize: and said, that he would not answer interrogatories. L--d C---n pressed that a day might be appointed, and said, he was ready to meet the noble L--d upon his ground of law; and L--d M---d, after some time, was brought to pledge himself to the Room, that the matter should be discussed. This brought L--d M--d up again; he said, he did not pledge himself to the Room, he only said, that he should hereafter give his opinion.
