1827 July 8
Penal Code

Ch. Homicide

Extract from the Examiner July 8th, 1827

Duelling — at the last sitting of the Court of
Cassation, Paris, a point of jurisprudence was decided
which may tend to check the practice of duelling, at
least as far as married men & fathers of families are
concerned. The question was, whether the widow &
children of a man killed in a duel could maintain
an action for damages against the surviving duellist?
A Mr Lelorrian was lately tried for the murder of
a Mr. Garel in a duel. Lelorrian was acquitted of
the murder, but sentenced, at the suit of the widow,
to the payment of damages to the amount of 20,000
francs to her, and 4,000 francs to her children, to be
paid when they came of age, with interest until
that period.
