Chapter III: Part 3

8th.—The second designed to give the signal must explain to the combatants the conventions of the duel, which are, that it is strictly forbidden to make use of the points of the sabres, which would be felony.

9th.—The seconds invite their friend to strip naked down to the waist, but they may keep their braces on if they are used to them.

10th.—The seconds present both sabres to the combatant who has gained by toss the right to choose, who picks one out, they then present the last one to the other combatant and recommend them both to wait for the signal.

11th.—When the seconds are placed on both sides of the combatants the signal is given by the word—_Allez!_

12th.—When the signal is given the combatants can cut at one another—taking care not to wound their adversary with the point of their sabre—can stoop, advance, retire, turn round, vault, &c., and stop only when the seconds tell them to: such are the rules of the combat.

13th.—The seconds must always stop the duel as soon as one of the combatants is wounded, in order to see whether he can continue or not—the seconds are the only judges for that; but the custom in this kind of duel is to stop the combat at the first wound.

14th.—If one of the combatants is killed or wounded against the rules, _see_ 20th and 21st art. of 4th chapter.

CHAPTERS 1st–10th.—The insulted party has the choice of the duel and weapons.

11th.—The insulted party, if struck or wounded, has the choice of the duel, weapons, distances, and can forbid his opponent to use weapons belonging to him, but in that case he must not use his own.

CHAPTERS 4th–20th.—The seconds must, if anything takes place against the rules, make a written statement of it and prosecute the felon by all the laws in their power (and _poursuivre le fauteur devant les tribunaux par toutes les voies de droit en leur pouvoir_).

21st.—The seconds of the party who is charged with felony must, by all means, declare the truth. They are not otherwise accountable for it, unless they aided in committing the wrong, which cannot be supposed possible.

Septimus Alban, Member of the E.C.U., written in satirical
verse by a Graduate of the University of Cambridge.

true things in an amusing way. It is the best satirical contribution
to the discussion of the subject of Ritualism which we have
seen.”—_Literary World._

“... This is one of the best satires in verse we have for a long time
seen; ambling easily along, the reading is of the pleasantest
description, while the satire is keen without being bitter, so that
even the upholders of Ritualism might read it with amusement, and
certainly with benefit.”—_South London Press._

“... Is well worth reading.”—_Cambridge Express._
