THE EXAMINER.
No. 686. SUNDAY, FEB. 25, 1821.

Duel.—On Friday week, a duel took place at Chalk Farm, between Mr. John Scott and Mr. Christie, at nine o’clock at night, by the light of the moon. The parties fired twice, Mr. Christie having the first time fired his pistol in the air, according to one account, and not having aimed it at Mr. Scott according to all. Mr. Scott received a ball in the lower part of his body, which remained there for some days and kept him in a dangerous state.
