Opinion.—Duelling.—The officers of the Crown have just decided
on a most important circumstance connected with duelling.— In the
recent affair between Mr. H. Archdall and Mr. Henry Langley, Henry
Alcocks, Esq., a Magistrate of the County and City of Waterford, bound
over the first named gentleman in a bond of 500l., and two sureties of
250l. each, to keep the peace. The parties proceeded to the County
Kildare and fought. Mr. Chief Secretary Lamb has now directed the
Magistrates to return Mr. Archdall’s recognizances as forfeited to the
Exchequer, in order that immediate proceedings be taken against that
gentleman and his bail. ======================= Important
to Assistant Barristers and Suitors, at Quarter Sessions.—A
decision of considerable importance was ruled at the Sessions of
Ennistymon in the last week, by the Assistant Barrister of the County
Clare. The case was an action to recover damages in Trover for taking
the plaintiff’s goods. The defendant justified under the authority of a
Session’s decree and a renewal thereof. The agent for the plaintiff
insisted that the renewal was void, because there was 2s. British
charged for the costs of the renewal, exclusive of the Sheriff’s
warrant, and the costs should have been only 1s. 10-1/2d. British ;
that the overcharge of 1-1/2d. rendered the renewal absolutely void ;
therefore the defendant acted without authority in taking the
plaintiff’s goods. The agent for the defendant said that the 1-1/2d.
charged, more than allowed by the statute, were for the printed form of
the renewal and affidavit annexed to it, which, under that statute the
Stamp office were heretofore obliged to supply gratis. Mr. Cruise, the
Assitant Barrister, pronounced this renewal void, as the statute, only
gave 1s. 10-1/2d. British, costs. There was no statute at present to
enable the plaintiff to charge for the printed forms of decrees or
renewals. He (Mr. C.) admitted that he (the defendant) was liable to an
action of trespass to the plaintiff, for having signed the renewal
containing the overcharge of 1-1/2d. for costs. ======================= [ADVERTISEMENT.]To the Editor
of the Newry Telegraph.
SIR,--Previous to filling up the vacancy
in the NEWRY DISPENSARY, caused by the death of the late Doctor
Morrison, who, I believe, was appointed “ Visiting Physician” to that
Establishment, I beg to offer one or two observations for the
consideration of the Subscribers, in whom is vested the nomination of
Doctor M.’s successor.Without meaning the slightest offence to Mr. G. W. BELL, either morally or physically, I beg to enquire (in reference to his letter of the 21st, which appeared in your Paper), if, when TWO persons were found insufficient to administer to the wants of so numerous a poor population as that of NEWRY (containing upwards of 15,000 inhabitants), and which, I am informed, was found to be the case, whether that object can be effected by ONE person, who, in addition to being transformed into an Atlas, with the whole ailing Newry world on his shoulders, has the management of another Dispensary in the County Armagh (Mullaghglass), attending 3 miles beyond Newry. In my opinion, Sir, were it practicable, Newry ought to have two Dispensaries—one in Down, the other in Armagh—the Town being subdivided between these Counties ; and let the Inhabitants of either County subscribe accordingly, and apply to the two Grand Juries for assistance instead of one. Should the Subscribers be of opinion, that a second Medical Man be appointed “ Visiting Physician” to the NEWRY DISPENSARY, as it is now constituted, in suggesting the name of our respected and worthy Townsman Doctor JOHNSON, (would he accept of it,) I am certain I but anticipate the wishes of a great majority of the Subscribers ; and any eulogium from me, in commendation of his professional skill, or of his kindness and charity to the lower classes, who are unable to pay for Medical Advice, is entirely superfluous. Trusting that these crude hints may lead the subject in a more general discussion than has hitherto been bestowed upon it, and that some other persons, more competent, may be hereby induced to lend it their attention, I shall conclude with observing, that to sufficiently administer to the wants of the suffering poor, ought to be the sole object in view, and not favor or emolument to any particular individual, however deserving. I am, Sir, yours, &c. S. Q. LAPIUS. Apothecaries’ Hall, near Newry, Jan. 31, 1828. =======================
ENNISKILLEN QUARTER SESSIONS.—The Sessions ended on Friday last,
and, as was anticipated, the Crown business was inconsiderable, and
quite uninteresting, with the exception of a case of riot and assault
of a very aggravated nature, committed on persons of the name of
Johnston and Irvine, (respectable Protestants) by William Corran, Denis
M’Dermott, James Doonan, and John Kelly. Corran, M’Dermott, and Doonan
submitted, and were sentenced, the first to five months’ imprisonment,
the second to six, and the third to three, and hard labour during their
several periods of confinement. Kelly traversed, and was found
guilty—sentence, six months’ imprisonment and hard labour.—Fermanagh Reporter . ======================= TO MAGISTRATES.

have been added to the Library within the last two months :-- The Red

of the Munster Festivals— Tales of Continental Life, by the author of
the English in Italy—the Romance of History, by H. Neale—Herbert Lacy,

extensive selection of every new and popular Work suited to a Public
Library, (amounting to nearly Four Thousand volumes), it is presumed,
will ensure the continued patronage of the public. To
prevent misconception, it is found necessary to state that a constant
supply of new Works cannot be engaged to any Subscriber exclusively.
The very high price of all modern Novels, and the general anxiety for
an early perusal, make it impracticable, as it would be unjust to other
Subscribers. An attentive perusal of the Rules and Regulations, printed
in the Library Catalogue, is respectfully requested ; which, from the
great increase in number and value of Books, during the last six
months, can, in no instance, be departed from.
SCHOOL

STANDARD WORKS, CHILDRENS’ BOOKS, BIBLES
