Amethyst Inn At Regents Park

Description

With their supporters and a large group of onlookers, the two walked to a grassy space just east of Victoria District Church, on the corner of today's Quadra Street and Burdett Avenue. In time-honoured tradition, they stood back to back. Liverpool, who had won choice of position, faced west. It was a smart choice. When they walked ten paces, turned, and fired, Sloane faced full into the setting sun. He fired and missed. Liverpool's shot found its mark. Sloane, shot through the heart, dropped dead, the victim of Victoria's first duel. He was buried just a few yards away, in the Catholic section of the Quadra Street Burying Ground.
