The detachment of Republican Guards escorted them as far as the St.Louis Gallery.
There they set them free; their heads bowed down.
It was about three o'clock.
While these events were taking place in the Library, close by, in the former great Chamber of the Parliament, the Court of Cassation was sitting in judgment as usual, without noticing what was happening so near at hand.

It would appear, then, that the police exhaled no odor.
Let us at once have done with this High Court.
In the evening at half-past seven the seven judges met together at the house of one of their number, he who had taken away the decree; they framed an official report, drew up a protest, and recognizing the necessity of filling in the line left blank in their decree, on the proposition of M.Quesnault, appointed as Procureur-General M.Renouard, their colleague at the Court of Cessation.

M.Renouard, who was immediately informed, consented.
They met together for the last time on the next day, the 3d, at eleven o'clock in the morning, an hour before the time mentioned in the judgment which we have read above,--again in the Library of the Court of Cassation.

M.Renouard was present.

An official minute was given to him, recording his appointment, as well as certain details with which he asked to be supplied.
