STATISTICS OF DUELLING UNDER GEORGE THE
TH1RD-Such was the frequent occurrence of
dues in this long reign, that one hundred and
seventy-two were fought Gin which three hun
bred and forty-four persons were concerned),
sixty-nine individuals were killed, in three of
these fatal cases neither of the combatants
survived ninety six were wounded forty
eight of them desperately and forty hit
slightly; while one hundred and seventy nine
escaped unhurt. From this statement it will
be seen, that rather more than one fifth of the
combatants lost their lives and that nearly one
half received the bullets of their antagonists
1t also appears, that only eighteen trials took
place that six of the arraigned individuals
were acquitted, seven found guilty of man
slaughter, and three of murder; two of whom
were executed, and eight imprisoned during
different periods
