STUDENTS’ DUEL
FINES INFLICTED Pres# Association—By Telegraph—Copyright MELBOURNE, June 25. (Received June 25, at 11 a.m.) The two students who fought a duel were fined £1 each for breach of the regulations governing the conduct of students by the Vice-chancellor. [To avenge liis honour after he had been expelled from the Melbourne_ University Conservative Club, Stanislaus Josef Von Ingwersen, a descendant of a noble Danish family, fought a duel with Peter Lalor, a great-grandson of the Eureka Stockade hero. Lalor moved the motion for Ingwersen’s expulsion, and Ingwersen regarded this as a stain upon his honour, and challenged Lalor to a duel with foils./ Clad in cloaks and accompanied by seconds, an umpire, and a surgeon, the duellists fought until Lalor stumbled and Ingwersen’s foil gashed his ear. The contestants shook hands and retired to drink coffee.]
