[Footnote 3318: Archives Nationales, AF., II., 46. (Act of the Committee
of Public Safety, Prairial 15.): "Citizens Pillon, Gouste and Ne,
members of the Revolutionary committee of the Marat section, are
removed. Their duties will be performed by citizens Martin, Majon and
Mirel. Mauvielle, rue de la Liberte, No. 32, is appointed on the said
Revolutionary Committee to complete it, as it was only composed of

might have them, and, if he has made enemies, it was because he was
unwilling to see these filled by ignoramuses or new-comers, who,
vociferating and apparently thirsting for blood, have created a barrier
