SURREY SESSIONS.

AGENCY OFFlCES.—Yesterday Douglas Gilchrist, aged 21,
was indicted for unlawfully obtaining frem various persons sums
of money under false pretences. It appeared from the testimony
of Ann Metcalf, that, seeing an advertisement in a Morning
Paper of April last, for a travelling companion to a Lady, and
being in want of such a situation, she went according to the re-
ference to No. 5, Waterloo-road, near the Coburg Theatre,where
she was told by the prisoner that upon paying St. she would
be furnished with the necessary particulars. !laving paid the
sum demanded, she was sent by the prisoner, first to.one place
then to another, but found wlerever she called that no such per-
son was wanted or had been advertised for. On again return-
in.. to the office and remonstrating With the prisoner, he told her
that he expected a letter from the country in a d.ay or two, and
that he would write to her by the Two-penny PoSt. Week
after week passed, however, without her receiving the desired
information, and the prisoner was accordingly apprehended.
Mr. TURTON, Counsel for the prisoner, made a most ela-
borate and ingenious defence, endeavouring to shew- that the
prisoner was-merely the agent
.orclerk of the person-who rented
the office, and that he acted under the orders of his employer.
• The Jury, however, without hesitation, found him guilty,
and he was sentenced to 7 years' transportation.

DUEL.--Yesterday morning a meeting took
place in the Regent's Park, between Captain
T— and Mr. R—. The parties alighted
about eight o'clock, and accompanied by two
Gentlemen, proceeded about half a, mile across
the Park, where the ground (twelve paces) having
been measured, the parties fired, and the Captain
received the ball of his antagonist above the right
knee, which occasioned him immediately to fall ;
the seconds then interfered, and he was con-
veyed t 3 his hotel in the neighbourhood of Bond-
street. The cause of the unfortunate affair is
said to have been the unsolicited attention of the
Captain to a Lady in the company of Mr. R
on Tuesday evening, at the Opera House.
The Population Returns in every part of the
kingdom shew a material increase since 1811.—
In the single Parish of St. John the Evangelist,
Westminster, the increase has been upwards of
6,2oo—the total number of persons being, in
1811, 10,615 ; in 1821, 16,835.

It is a singular fact that Many of the houses in
the town of Mullingar are held on the following
terms :—"• Until the King shall come to Mul-
lingar." It is said the King intends to pass
through that town, therefore woe to the people
of Mullingar.—(Dzthlin Paper.)
GOLD Coix.—" King JAMES first coined his
22 shilling piece of gold, called Jacobtisses,
where, on his head, be wore a crown ; after that
he coined his twenty shillings, and wore the
laurel instead of the crown ; upon which muta-
tion Bpr JoNsoN said pleasantly, that poets
being always poor,. bayes were rather the em-
bleme of wit than wealth, since, King JAMES DO
sooner begun to wear them, but he fell two-shil-
lings in the pound in publique valuation."—
( Pragm- entaAttica, 1662.)

fortunately killed by a pistol going-off, while he was
