A late duel has occasioned so much conversati
on offthe fubje&, that a correfpoudent cannot
help mentioning a case which is in point, and
which he would fain hope may lead to a cure of
the abominable Gothic practice of dueling.---
Two officers of the army of Gustavus Adolphus,
having been mod intimate friends, from some
mistake, were led to quarrel so violently, that
even the interposition of the King was ineffectual
to accommodate mat ers between them, which
made him fix a day for the intended duel to be
fought in his presence. When the combatants
-came into the field, they found a gallows ereded^
on the ground, and his Majesty, who was pre
sent, told them, that since he could not prevail
with them to alter their intention, they might
begin when they pleated, but he was resolved,
that the conqueror should be hanged by the neck,
and his opponent by the heels; which had the
desired effect, and brought them to such temper
as to let them enquire into the grounds of the
difpute, and difeover the mistake which occa
sioned the quarrel, and their friendship was ce
mented more closely than ever.
Our correspondent saw a couple of duelists
hanging in Holland upon a gibbet, one by the
reck, and the other by the heels; which punilh
merit, he supposes, took its rife from the above
story.
