Just then Commandant Magne detached it from the staff and put it in his pocket.

We then asked the general where we should deposit our arms; he replied, that we had better keep them, as we should probably find use for them before long, and also to take our ammunition with us, to ensure our safety on the road.
"From that time on we all did what we thought best: sixty-four of us remained together, and took a guide to enable us to avoid Uzes." Nicholas Marie, labourer, deposed as follows: "On leaving the army of the Duc d'Angouleme after the capitulation, I went with my officers and my corps to Saint-Jean-des-Anels.

We marched towards Uzes, but when we were in the middle of a forest, near a village the name of which I have forgotten, our general, M.de Vogue, told us that we were to go to our own homes as soon as we liked.

We saw Commandant Magne loose the flag from its staff, roll it up and put it in his pocket.

We asked the general what we were to do with our arms; he replied that we were to keep both them and our ammunition, as we should find them of use.
