CHAPTER II
49/67

3, 1791 (article by Mallet du Pan).

"On the strength of a denunciation, the authors of which I knew, the Luxembourg section on the 21st of June, the day of the king's departure, sent commissaries and a military detachment to my domicile.
There was no judicial verdict, no legal order, either of police-court, or justice of the peace, no examination whatever preceding this mission...

The employees of the section overhauled my papers, books and letters, transcribing some of the latter, and carried away copies and the originals, putting seals on the rest, which were left in charge of two fusiliers."] [Footnote 1228: Mercure de France, Aug.

27, 1791 (report by Duport-Dutertre, Minister of Justice) .-- Ibid., Cf.
