Topological Vector Spaces, III, p. 31, § 5. Hypocontinuous bilinear mappings
If is a barrelled space, every separately continuous bilinear mapping from into a locally convex space is -hypocontinuous for every set of bounded subsets of .
In other words, the linear mapping from into is continuous.
It is enough (III, p. 30, prop. 3) to prove that the image of every bounded subset of under is equicontinuous in . But, by virtue of prop. 1 (III, p. 28) this image is a simply bounded subset of , and since is barrelled, every simply bounded subset of is equicontinuous (III, p. 25, th. 1).
Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
