judicial Combat Between
A Man and Enemy's Dog

In the early part of October 1861,
there took place. on the lie Notre
Dame, Paris, a combat which illus
.trates strikfngly the ideas prevalent
in that age, and is perhaps the most
singular instance on record of the
appeals to 'tthe judgment of God" in
criminal cases. IA
Aubry de Montvidier, French
gentleman, was travelling through
the forest of Bondy when he was
murdered and buried at the foot of a
tree. His dog remained for several
days beside his grave, and only left
the spot when hunger drove him to
seek food. The faithful animal made
his way to Paris and to the house of
an intimate friend OF his masters.
He howled piteously and after being
supplied with food resumed his can
inc lamentations, pulling his masters
friend by the coat toward the door
in an evident desire to urge the man
to come with him. =. The fact that
the dog and his master had been in
separable AROUSED the curiosity of the
friend, and he followed the dog, who
led the way to where his master was
buried.
No trace could be found Of the as
sassin, but one day the dog was con-
fronted with the Chevalier Macaire.
The animal Immediately became rren-
| zied and flew at the mans throat, the
| latter being saved from the animal
with the greatest difficulty. On sew
eral other occasions the, dog came in
to the presence of Macaire, and while
the animal was usually the gentlest
of beasts, on meeting Macaire he be-
/ came, Infatuated. This extraordinary
conduct, aroused considerable atten-
ton, all the more so as it was known
i that Macaire had been bitter enemy
of the dead man. Other circum-
stances combined to strengthen the
suspicion now aroused.
4 The King of France, informed OF
all the rumors in circulation on this
subject, ordered. the dog to be brought
before him. The animal remained
perfectly quiet until it recognized
Macaire amid a crowd of courtiers
and then rushed forward and sprans
at his throat. In those days the prac
tice of judicial combat was in full
vigor, that mode of settling cases be
ing considered as an appeal to thu
, Judgment of Cod The King, &C
cordingly, ordered that duel shoult
take place between Macaire and tn,
dog of the murdered man. Tn
ground for the combat was marke,
off in the lie Notre Dame, then al
open space. Macaire made his ap
pearance armed with a large stick
1.-THE animal at once attacked Macair
and after a short time seized him b.
the throat and threw him to tn
ground. Attendants rushed up an
held the dog back, while Macair
was forced to make confession of hi
crime in the presence of the king an
. his whole court.
