"Fifty members against 690... About twenty former nobles, fifteen or
twenty priests, and a dozen September judges (want to prevail against)
700 deputies."--Ibid., 851 (Dec.26, on the motion to defer the trial
of the king): "About fifty voices, with energy, No! no!"--Ibid., 865,
(Dec.27, a violent speech by Lequinio, applauded by the extreme "Left"

applause continues of about fifty members of the extreme 'Left.'

from the extreme left, about a dozen members noisily demanding the order
of the day."]

[Footnote 3332: Buchez et Roux, XIX. 17. XXVIII. 168.--The king is
declared guilty by 683 votes; 37 abstain from voting, as judges; of

The situation of the conventionists who survive the Revolution may
