Shamrock O'Toole . But the Alvanley continued to furnish more insult for the press of his faction ; and was that right now ? Mr . Albion . Certainly not ; I only object to the evident provocation , amounting to a certainty of success in its aim , viz . that Lord Alvanley should call him out instead of his father . Shamrock O'Toole . By the powers , it was only done to show
his Lordship that if he had not been m earnest about wishing to fight he should not have carried the pretince so far , and published it so virry hastily ? Ccbur de Leok . Is it not the opinion , not only of the clubs , but of all real gentlemen , that as Mr . Morgan O'Connell had evidently resolved they should fire a third time if the second proved ineffectual , he ought to have fired in the air the second time , in consequence of Lord Alvanley having accidentally omitted to fire the first ?
