TOM HUGHES.
This Irishman was born in Dublin, and was the son of a
respectable tradesman. Falling into dissipated company, he soon
left the city to try his fortune in London, where he played very
deep and very successfully.
He threw away his gains as fast as he made them, chiefly among
the frail sisterhood, at a notorious house in those days, in the
Piazza, Covent Garden. He frequented Carlisle House in Soho
Square, and was a proprietor of E O tables kept by a Dr Graham in
Pall Mall.
He had a rencontre, in consequence of a dispute at play, and was
wounded. The meeting took place under the Piazza, and his
antagonist's sword struck a rib, which counteracted its dangerous
effect.
