¶George BM Satires 7744: 'This evidently relates to a duel between a Mr. Leeson (who had first acted as the friend of Lieut. Monro, the original aggressor) and Col. McCarthy on 10 Sept. at Margate. Both fired twice without effect; then Leeson clubbed his pistol, his antagonist protested with his pistol presented, and the seconds stepped between them. A mob collected and the parties left the ground dissatisfied. An affray in the Margate library followed on the same evening, Leeson attacking with a stick, and being knocked down by McCarthy, who was then overpowered by Leeson's friends'.
