SWORD DUEL
MAGISTRATE AND COUNSEL. SEQUEL TO BRAWL IN FRENCH COURT. Paris, June 5. Should a magistrate’s lawyer wife appear before him as counsel? Such a situation created an unseemly brawl in the law courts a few days ago. Opposing counsel suggested that such relationship was out of place and unfair to litigant. Magistrate and counsel exchanged ffieated insults, then blows, and had to be separated. The sequel yesterday was a fierce six-round sword duel, fought in deadly earnest in another lawyer's garden. One of the duel lists was twice deeply wounded in the arm. Doctors stopped the duel, but the opponents were not reconciled. —(A. and N.Z.)
