[Footnote 2318: At the Jacobin Club, Legendre proposes a much a more
expeditious measure for getting rid of the priests. "At Brest, he says,
boats are found which are called Marie-Salopes, so constructed that,
on being loaded with dirt, they go out of the harbor themselves. Let us
have a similar arrangement for priests; but, instead of sending them out
of the harbor, let us send them out to sea, and, if necessary, let them
go down." ("Journal de Amis de la Constitution," number 194, May 15,
1792.)]

and Malassis, deputies to the National Assembly: "As to the matter of
the sieur Lajaille, even though we would have taken an interest in him,
that decorated aristocrat only deserved what he got... We shall not
remain idle until all these traitors, these perjurers, whom we have
spared so long, shall be exterminate
