Detail  At Madras, of a wound he received in a duel with Major Allen, of which he languished about a week, Col. Harvey Aston. He had been engaged in a similar affair of honour, and on the same account, with Major Picton, only the day preceding that on which he met Major A. but which was fortunately terminated by each party firing in the air, and a proper explanation taking part as to the offence. Col. A. was married to the lovely Miss Ingram, daughter of Lady Ingham (sic), and sister to the Marchioness of Hertford; to whom and family he has left a fortune of £5000 per annum in Derbyshire and Cheshire.
