A duel was fought

A duel was fought near Plymouth by a captain and lieutenant of marines, in which the latter was unfortunately killed. The duellists were inseparable companions, had been together all the preceding day, and were very much in liquor. About three in the morning they came arm in arm to the barracks, when the deceased dropped down dead. The survivor, who is committed to gaol, is inconsolable for the loss of his friend, and protests he knows not how the affair happened.
