The rules, with some others, were commonly
styled "the thirty-six commandments," and, according to the author,
have been much acted upon down to the present day. Tipperary and
Galway were the chief schools of duelling. We remember to have heard,
in travelling to the town of the former name in a stage coach, a
dispute between two Irish companions, on the point, which was the most
gentlemanly country in all Ireland--Tipperary or Galway? and both laid
great stress upon the relative duelling merits of those counties. By
the same criterion, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina,
would bear away the palm of gentility among the States of the Union.-
