Procedure CodeCh. Execution
§ Private Barristers
Case. Wronger a Challenger: wrongee a Challengee
Places interdictable. Places in general which it would being
the wish of the wrongee to frequent, the sight of the
Challenger after omission to accept the challenge and fight accordingly
might be productive of humiliation to him.
N.B. By this arrangement, the howsover the
Challenger ought be annexed reputation for avoidance on the part of the challenge refusing Chal
Challengee would not be procured or restored.
Applying for his benefit the ambulatory mode
would by the humbled position it would place the Challenger
in do more or less towards the production of that desirable
effect.
But the principally effective arrangement would be
the assurance on the part propre of the proposed Challenger that in case of his killing
the proposed Challengee, his the Challenger's pecuniary circumstances
would be placed in a state of ruin.
There again, on the part of a refusing challengee
the contemplation of such a result would have the effect of preserving
his reputation: for though fear if duelling would all be (as it is
not) accepted as an excuse for an acceptance, fear of pecuniary
ruin would. Proof the fact, that in practice
was a by less reference had to the man's pecuniary
circumstances is productive of this effect.
