Blewitt, as I found after, was the author of the libels which appeared right and left: "GAMBLING IN HIGH LIFE--the HONORABLE Mr.D--c--ce again!--This celebrated whist-player has turned his accomplishments to some profit.
On Friday, the 16th January, he won five thousand pounds from a VERY young gentleman, Th-m-s Sm-th D-wk-ns, Esq., and lost two thousand five hundred to R.Bl-w-tt, Esq., of the T-mple.

Mr.D.very honorably paid the sum lost by him to the honorable whist-player, but we have not heard that, BEFORE HIS SUDDEN TRIP TO PARIS, Mr.D--uc--ce paid HIS losings to Mr.Bl-w-tt." Nex came a "Notice to Corryspondents:" "Fair Play asks us, if we know of the gambling doings of the notorious Deuceace?
We answer, WE DO; and, in our very next Number, propose to make some of them public.".
