by Bourbotte, Tours, Messidor 5, year II., "requiring the district
administration to furnish him personally, as well as for the citizens
attached to his commission, forty bottles of red wine and thirty of
white wine, to be taken from the cellars of emigrés, or from those of
persons condemned to death; and, besides this, fifty bottles of common
wine other than white or red."--On the 2nd of Messidor, ale is drunk and
there is a fresh order for fifty bottles of red wine, fifty of
common wine, and two bottles of brandy.--De Martel, "Fouché," 419,
420.--Moniteur, XXIV., 604. (Session of Prairial 13, par III.) "Dugué
reads the list of charges brought against Mallarmé. He is accused....
of having put in requisition whatever pleased him for his table and for
other wants, without paying for anything, not even for the post-horses
and postillions that carried him."--Ibid. 602. Report of Perès du Gers.
"He accuses Dartigoyte... of having taken part with his secretaries in
the auction of the furniture of Daspe, who had been condemned; of having
kept the most valuable pieces for himself, and afterwards fixing
their price; of having warned those who had charge of the sale that
confinement awaited whoever should bid on the articles he destined for
himself."--Laplanche, ex-Benedictine, said in his mission in Loiret,
that "those who did not like the Revolution must pay those who make
it."]
