In the midst of the riot, the coffin fell into the mud, and the peer's insignia, which lay upon it, were trodden under foot.--B.] [Footnote 301: The Grand Referendary de Sémonville was 73 years of age in 1827.--T.] [Footnote 302: The review took place on the 29th of April 1827.--B.] [Footnote 303: Ambroise Polycarpe de La Rochefoucauld, Duc de la Rochefoucauld-Doudeauville (1765-1841), created a peer of France (1814), Postmaster-general (1822) and Minister of the King's Household (1824).
