Report of the executive council according to the official statement of the municipality of Coste.
On the 27th of September Montbrion, commissioner of the administration of the Bouche-du-Rhone, sends two messengers to fetch the furniture to Apt. On reaching Apt Montbrion and his colleague Bergier have the vehicles unloaded, putting the most valuable effects on one cart, which they appropriate to themselves, and drive away with it to some distance out of sight, paying the driver out of their own pockets: "No doubt whatever exists as to the knavery of Montbrion and Bergier; administrators and commissioners of the administration of the department."-- De Sades, the author of "Justine," pleads his well-known civism and the ultra-revolutionary petitions drawn up by him in the name of the section of the Pikes.] [Footnote 32103: "Archives Nationales," F7, 3272.
