nate house."--Ibid., June 4. The committee decides that it will add new members to its number, but they will be taken only from all "good sans-cullote; no notary, no notary's clerk, no lawyers nor their clerks, no banker nor rich landlord" being admissible, unless he gives evidence of unmistakable civism since 1789.--Cf. F7, 2497 (section of the Droits de l'Homme), F7, 2484 (section of the Halle-au-ble), the resemblance in orthography and in their acts; the registry of the Piques section (F7, 2475) is one of the most interesting; here may be found the details of the appearance of the ministers before it; the committee that examines them does not even spell their names correctly, "Clavier" being often written for Claviere, and "Goyer" for Gohier.] [Footnote 34150: Buchez et Roux, XXVIII. 19.] [Footnote 34151: Buchez et Roux, XXVII.357. Official reports of the commune, June 1.] [Footnote 34152: Meillan, 307.--"Fragment," by Lanuinais.--"Diurnal," of Beaulieu, June 2.--Buchez et Roux, XXVII. 399 (speech by Barere).] [Footnote 34153: Buchez et Roux, XXVII. 357. Official reports of the commune, June 1.] [Footnote 34154: Meillan, 53, 58, 307. Buchez et Roux, XXVIII. 14 (Precis, by Gordas).] [Footnote 34155: Buchez et Roux, XXVII 359.

("Archives Nationales," F7, 2497, official reports of the Droits de l'Homme section, June 1.) Orders of Henriot to the commandant of the section to send "400 homme et la compagnie de canonier avec le 2 pieces de canon au Carouzel le long des Thuilerie plasse de la Revolution."] [Footnote 34156: "Lanjuinais states 100,000 men, Meillan 50,000; the deputies of the Somme say 60,000, but without any evidence. Judging by various indications I should put the number much lower, on account of the disarmament and absentees: say 30,000 men, the same as May 31.] [Footnote 34157: Mortimer-Ternaux, VII. 566.
