Dublin Theatre Dispute.
May 1797
Lieutenant Fitzgerald of the marines and Lieutenant Smith of the 25th regiment, lately met to settle a quarrel which happened at the theatre in Dublin, a short time previous.
The first fire the balls took no effect, but Lieutenant Fitzgeralds second fire wounded Lieutenant Smith in the side, on which the business was amicably adjusted.
