The judgment which had been drawn up was taken by M.
Quesnault to the Recorder's Office, and immediately entered upon the Register of the Secret Deliberations of the Court of Cassation, the High Court not having a Special Register, and having decided, from its creation, to use the Register of the Court of Cassation.

After the decree they also transcribed the two documents described as follows on the Register:-- I.An official report recording the interference of the police during the discussion upon the preceding decree.
II.

A minute of the appointment of M.Renouard to the office of Procureur-General.
In addition seven copies of these different documents drawn up by the hands of the judges themselves, and signed by them all, were put in a place of safety, as also, it is said, a note-book, in which were written five other secret decisions relating to the _coup d'etat_.
Does this page of the Register of the Court of Cassation exist at the present time?
Is it true, as has been stated, that the prefect Maupas sent for the Register and tore out the leaf containing the decree?
We have not been able to clear up this point.

The Register now is shown to no one, and those employed at the Recorder's Office are dumb.
Such are the facts, let us summarize them.

If this Court so called "High," had been of a character to conceive such an idea as that of doing its duty--when it had once met together the mere organization of itself was a matter of a few minutes--it would have proceeded resolutely and rapidly, it would have appointed as Procureur-General some energetic man belonging to the Court of Cassation, either from the body of magistrates, such as Freslon, or from the bar, like Martin (of Strasbourg).
