, 150. (Report of Vent?se 14.) - Archives Nationales, F.7,
31167. (Reports of Niv?se 9 and 25.): "A great many citizens are
found in the sections who are called out after the meeting, to get
forty sous. I notice that most of them are masons, and even a few
coach drivers belonging to the nation, who can do without the nation's
indemnity, which merely serves them for drink to make them very
noisy." - " The people complain, because the persons to whom the forty
sous are given, to attend the section assemblies do nothing all day,
being able to work at different trades.... and they relay upon these
forty sous."

section advertises that wishing to put a stop to the cupidity of the

cellars."
