DUEIING in France will soon be done away, should there be repetition of some important sentences lae y pronounced by the French Courts. They have given damages to tie widow and orphans to be levied upon the murdefer. The Royal Court of Bordeaux have set the example by giving damages to the widow of Cheurlet against Duheu who had killed her hus- band in duel. The principle was applied in another case, when appeal made to the Court of Cassallon, and the sentence was confirmed. The Assize Court of Paris occupied number of days in the trial of young Sivey for killing M. Durepane in duel, which resulted verdict of damagesNn favor of the wdow.--BaItimore Transcript.
