Entry  HUGHES � Fatal Duel � A slight misunderstanding took place at Kurnaul on the morning of the 15th October, between Captain Keating, of H.M.'s 13th Light Infantry, and Captain Hughes, of the Artillery. Ineffectual attempts were made to reconcile the parties and they met on the evening of the same day. Captain Hughes received his adversary's ball in his right side, and it passed through his liver, bowels and spleen, lodging in the left side. He had strength to drive his buggy home, but died at nine P.M. the next day [long obituary].
