Times (London) September 1, 1804. Excerpt :
"Yesterday, at Marlborough Street, a young gentleman was charged with
sending a challenge to fight a duel with Mr. Tester, landlord of the King's
Arms, Tottenham Court Road. The Defendant had called for some refreshment at
the house, and on going into the drinking room on the first floor, ordered
the servant to bring him a sheet of writing paper; but on her return he was
absent; and on the landlord being informed that he had gone up stairs to his
bedroom, some words ensued, when the Defendant felt himself so much offended
that he sent a note to the Landlord, which gave him his choice either
publicly to beg pardon, or to meet him with a brace of pistols on the
ensuing morning at eight o'clock, in the first field leading to Kentish
Town. The Defendant was accordingly ordered to find sureties, himself in
200l and two bondmen in 100l each." *
I am quite certain the "Mr Tester" referred to was George Testar who was
later publican of the
Red Lion, St Johns Road, Clerkenwell (1841) and the
Victory Tavern,
Edmund Street, Marylebone(1851).
