THE RAPE OF THE LOCKS.
LFrom ;. Nc Forum." by DAWN paul BrownI

From The Forum" by David Paul BrownI
In the year 1850 dashing French gentleman
"a perfect lady-killer, dressed in the very re-
tinement of elegance, with cloak of the finest
French CLOTH lined with white silk and covered
with embroidery-ap to me to defend him
upon charge OF an assault and battery with
intent to kill countryman of his of the name
OF Dubois. The charms of the applicant were
not alone in his apparel: his features and COM
plexlon were also attractive; added to which
he spOrted an imperial, a moustache, and
most luxurlant and bewitching pair Of whskers:
and, to crown all, an abundant crop of hair
adorned his head, perfumed and cured and
adjusted upon the most exquisite rules of some
accomplished cOiteur. Taken altogether he
might be fairly considered the very uuintes.
sennce OF beau-a gay, if not gallant, Lo-
thari0.
His case was this: Being a man of fortune
and of fashion, he had invited Monsieur Du-
bois, one of his own school, to sup with him.
Dubois was a man of larger and rOugher pre-
portions than my client, and even surpassed
him in the size OF his mOustache and Whiskers
1t happened that while at supper, probably
under the influence of wine, in which they had
freely INDUCED, an alteration took place be-
tween them, which resulted in q downright
scuffle; and, as Dubois had the advantage in
strength, my client stabbed him with his pen
knife some five or six times, and drove him
from his house. IhlS was the subject IN re-
gard to which professional assistance was re-
quired. Dubois had instituted criminal pro-
secution against his host a binding over had
taken place, and the time for trial rapidly ap-
preached.
Several eminent members of the bar were
engaged for the prosecution, among whom
were Mr.. Dunlap and Mr.. Thos. j. Wharton.
Mr.. Ingraham was associated with me for the
defence. The case, upon these facts, was of
course rather desperate The very appearance
of the defendant and his antagonist would have
been but little in their favor with the court
and jury. If they had been plain, homespun
men, there would have been less danger but
| feared the punishment would be regulated by
the pretcnsions of the parties What then
was to be done? After much anxiety and re-
hection, Mr.. Ingraham and myself came to the
conclusion that our best course would be to
forestall the anticipated prejudice by rather
hazardous step-wbich was to advise the de-
fendant to have his hair cut, and to shave off
his moustache, imperial, whiskers and. ambro-
sa curls This course, we assured him, might
prevent his conviction, and would at oil events
take perhaps some months from his imprison-
ment, The proposal was an unlooked-for and
bitter presOriptiye but, after many objections

and great repugnance, Fear triumphed over
Vanity, and he consented to abide by our ad-
vice.
Accordingly, closely shorn and shaved, and
accompanied by his counsel, he next morning
upon entering, we found the prosecutor-who
had adopted, no doubt under legal advice, the
same Notwithstanding before us shorn of
all his ambrosial locks 1t was some time be-
fore the parties recognized each other q am
sure they couldn't have sworn to each other),
and when they did, their risibles could be no
longer restrained or commanded; and clients
and counsel indulged in hearty laugh. While
in this vein it was not difficult matter to bring
about reconciliation; and upon mutual ex,
plantations and apologies, this appalling matter
was amicably adjusted, and then both parties
retired from the Court deploring 1.-THE Rape
of the Locks" but still rejoicing in their hair
