A Conjuqal Duel.

Charles Coypeau, Sieur d'ASsouci. q
French poet and musician of the sew
enteenth century. relates in one of his
'tAdventures' that his father and
mother were one day engaged in dis
cuSsion upon questions of law when IL
dispute arose between them with re-
gard to the precise signifcation and
bearing OF a provision in Justinian's
code with respect to the rights of
brothers. Ultimately the quarrel wax
ed SO furious that the disputants lost
all control of themselves. detied each
other to single combat and proceeded
70 settle their difference and deter
mine the mind of the ancient legislator
by fight with swords.
This singular duel took place III their
sons presence. Coypeau pere was an
advocate by profession and member
Of one of the French parliaments.
Madame was exceedingly diminutive
and had to wear exceptionally high
pattens to approach the ordinary stat
ure of women. but she was fierce and
domineering in temper. The combat
appears to have been drawn battle,
and the sense of Justinian remained as
obscure and debatable as ever.
