This is explained in
"...Only gentlemen were considered to have honor, and therefore qualified to duel. If a gentleman was insulted by a person of lower class he would not duel him but would beat him with a cane or whip or have his servants do so..."
No Honour, no duel.
So- a good whipping is call for!

Well it wasn't strictly a duel, Planning on giving any who turned up a sound thrashing.
Dueling, now, I have always wanted a go at that...with pistols I reckong I'd win, and I'd have a good crack at it with swords.
Actually, after dueling was banned, fisticuffs became the way of settling matters of hounour, thus the Marquis Of Queensbury rules- so it could be done in a gentlemaly fashion, not as a common brawl!
Perhaps we could have Brownlee and Malard fight for the honour of their leader?
