The Virginia Gazette

A motion will soon be made, we hear, in a certain assembly, at the instigation of a Great Personage, for regulating duels, as follows: That every duel be fought with swords only, on the stage of one of the theatres, and that any one may be admitted to see them, paying the price that is now paid at the oratorios at Drury Lane. The money arising from this kind of entertainment is to be applied in such charitable uses as may be agreed upon in the above assembly: and that duelists who do not conform to this regulation shall suffer death or banishment, as well as a confiscation of their estates.
