X.to XVIII.] [Footnote 2138: Ibid., IV., 688.An order of the Director, Germinal 14, year VI.--"The municipal governments will designate special days in each decade for market days in their respective districts, and not allow, in any case, their ordinance to be set aside on the plea that the said market days would fall on a holiday.

They will specially strive to break up all connection between the sales of fish and days of fasting designated on the old calendar.

Every person exposing food or wares on sale in the markets on days other than those fixed by the municipal government will be prosecuted in the police court for obstructing a public thoroughfare."-- The Thermidorians remain equally as anti-Catholic as their predecessors; only, they disavow open persecution and rely on slow pressure.
