Case a challenge
Place interdictable
Case. Wronger a Challenger: wrongee a Challengee
Places interdictable. Places in general which it would being
the wish of the wrongee to present 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 howsoever the
Challenger ought be annexed, reputation for avoidance on the part of The challenge — refusing Chal
Challengee would not be procured or restored.
17
Ambulatory mode applied —
humility it would
place Challenger in
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.
18
Principal security
Assurance that Challenger
will not rid the fear of
suffering in his pecuniary
circumstances
But the principally effective arrangement would be
the assurance on the part of the that 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.
19
Fear that by bringing
Action if true he might
lo not preserve his
reputation
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 of duelling would not be (as it is
not) accepted as an excuse for non-acceptance, fear of pecuniary
ruin would. Proof the fact, that in present practice
even a by moderate less reference had to the man's pecuniary
circumstances is invariably productive of this effect.
