LITERATURE.

MONTHLY LAW MAGAZOR
In an article on the subject of the New Hano-
verian Code of Criminal Law," of which the writer
is a eulogist, he observes, while speaking incident-
ally about duelling, " it is obvious either that duels
should be permitted, sanctioned, or whatever other
name may be attached to the insensibility of autho-
rities to acts of violence, or that they ought to be
punished, like every other crime, for the mere at-
tempt. Lord Cardigan is to be punished, we stir
pose ; at all events he is subjected to inconvenience
judicially inflicted ; and this, we think, is perfectly
right, for he has violated the law by actually fighting
a duel and wounding his antagonist." We perfectly
agree with the writer that duelling should be
punishable act, for it is only by the law taking
strict cognizance of it, that the evil—for evil it is,
and of no slight order—can possibly be abated.,
" Case of Madame Laffarge," is a detailed state
ment of the curious circumstances attending. th.is
late trial, which has occasioned such a sensation 111
France. The writer reserves his opinion of the Cto
for the next Number. " Promises by Bankrupt
and Insolvents," is an article interesting only
to
lawyers.
