Thank you for the information.

Doc 3&4: the Court and Attorney General saw Sanderson and Staples 8 days after the facts. S & S should pay 250£ each (probably to be released) and shoud come back to the Court if necessary, and may be sue for the duel.

 Were they huguenots?

In the Tables decennales of Valognes I found the birth 19 january 1826 of a girl called Rosalie Sidonie BELIN but I can't find the "acte de naissance". Can't  understand why , because all the pages of the register are there. Must think about this.
