judicial duel as legal ordeal. This
followed a two.fold conviction. 1t
believed, first, that God could not
allow the iunocents TO be defeated
In duel-bepce it was held that The
guilty party would not dare primar-
lily appeal to the judgment Of God
In proof of his innocence and then
enter the field under the weight
OF perjury, secondly, the fear OF
the divine wrath would discourage
him and make victory impossible.
AS early as the fifth century the
church took earnest appeal against
the above. mentioned laws, and In
France, where the custom was
spreading. the state denounced
duelling as an unnecessary evil.
In 1908 the edict against duclling
was issued by Henry ~ Of France,
Whoever killed his opponent in a
duel was TO be punished with
death; severe penalties were also
enacted against the sending of a
challenge and the acceptance OF
the same. Unfortunately, trans
gressors against this law were gen
erelly pardoned In 1926, during
the reign Of Henry's successor,
Louis XIII, the laws against duel
ling were made more stringent, and
were strictly carried out. Notwith'
standing these measures the Gus.
tom OF duelling increased alarming

French noblemcn who fell in duels

teenth century is shown by the
statement of the contemporary
writer, Theophilo Raynaud, that
within thirty years more men Of
rank had been killed in duels than
would have been needed to make up
m entire army.
The more the judicial combat
fell into disuse, the more thp old
instinct OF the Germanic and Gal
lie people, by which each man

sought to gnin his rights with wea-
pom in hand, showed itself in per
sonal contests and at tournaments.
From the middle Of the fifteeuth
century duelling over questions of
honor increased so greatly, especial
ly in the romance countries, that
the council of Trent, according to
the Catholic encyclopedia, was
obliged to enact the severest penal
ties against it. II decreed that
"the detestable custom of duelling
which the devil had originated in
order to bring about at the snme
time the ruin OF the soul aud the
violent death of the body, shall be
entirely upFeoted from Christian
soil. +" It pronounced the severest
ecclesiastical penalties against
those princes who should permit
duelling between Christians in their
territories.
In other countries, too, severe
measures were taken against the
constantly spreading evil, In 1851
the emperor. Leopold l., forbade
The hghtine of duels under the Sc
verest penalties; Maria Theresa
ordered not only the challenger
and the challenged, but also all
who had any share in duel to be
beheaded, and in the reign of En-.
peror Joseph II duellists received
the punishment Of murderers.
Frederick the Great of Prussia toll
Grated no due)ists in his army.
The present penal code Of Aus
tria makes Imprisonment the. pun
ishment of duelling; tho penal code
Of the German empire commands
confinement in a fortress.
The penalty is. without doubt,
entirely insufficient and constitutes
a form of privilege for the person
who kills his adversary in duel.
Whoever is killed in a due is in-
directly guilty Of self'murder, be-

In 1896 when, in consequence of
the fatal issue of duel, the reichs-
tag by large majority called upon
the government to proceed by all
means in its power against the
practice OF duelling, as opposed to
the criminal code, the emperor is
