Claimed adoption of the code duello at Clonmel (unverified)

When
1777 (disputed; legacy date January 1, 1777 flagged as likely placeholder)
Where
Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland (unverified)
Part of
Adoption of the Code duello at Clonmel Summer Assizes

The legacy row records an adoption of the code duello at the Clonmel Summer Assizes in 1777, but no supplied passage corroborates the event.

The legacy discovery row asserts that the code duello was adopted at the Clonmel Summer Assizes as the form for pistol duels by gentlemen in Ireland, dated January 1, 1777, and located in Clonmel. The scope note itself flags the date as a likely placeholder and calls for verification of the actual assize dates. The supplied passages define a code duello and explain its function in regulating duels and preventing vendettas, but they say nothing about Clonmel, the assizes, pistol duels, or any adoption event. The claim is therefore recorded as unresolved pending better sources.
