Whilst the inhabitants of St. Lo were living on a few ounces of brown
bread, "the best bread, the choicest wines, pillaged in the house of
Lemonnier, were lavishly given in pans and kettles to General Seepher's
horses, also to those of representative Laplanche." Lemonnier, set at
liberty, could not return to his emptied dwelling then transformed into
a storehouse. He lived at the inn, stripped of all his possessions,
valued at sixty thousand livres, having saved from his effects only one
silver table-service, which he had taken with him into prison.]

[Footnote 3298: Archives Nationales, AF., II., 59. Extract from the
minutes of the meetings of the People's club of Metz, and depositions
made before the committee of Surveillance of the club, Floreal 12, year
II., on the conduct of representative Duquesnoy, arrived at Metz the
evening before at six o'clock.--There are thirty-two depositions, and
among others those of M. Altmayer, Joly and Cledat. One of the witnesses

tipsy or drunk, or as a man beside himself."--This is customary with
Duquesnoy.--Cf. Paris, "His. de Joseph Lebon," I., 273, 370.-"Archives
des Affaires etrangeres," vol. 329. Letter of Gadolle, September
11, 1793. "I saw Duquesnoy, the deputy, dead drunk at Bergues, on
Whit-Monday, at 11 o'clock in the evening."--"Un Sejour en France, 1792

the abuse of strong drink. General de .....assures us that he saw him
seize the mayor of Avesnes, a respectable old man, by the hair on his
presenting him with a petition relating to the town, and throw him down
with the air of a cannibal." "He and his brother were dealers in hops at
retail, at Saint Pol. He made this brother a general."]

robust man with stentorian lungs," opens his court with a volley of

alone dared present her petition. "Who are you?" She gives her name.
"What! You have the audacity to mention a traitor's name in this place?"
