[121] Ibid., 461. (Vendemaire 24, year III. Visit of Representative
Malarm?.) The former Duc de Narbonne-Lorra aged eighty-four, says to
Malarm?: "Citizen representative, excuse me if I keep my cap on; I
lost my hair in that prison, without having been able to get
permission to have a wig made; it is worse than being robbed on the
road." "Did they steal anything from you?" "They stole one hundred and
forty five louis d'or and paid me with an acquittance for a tax for
the sans-culottes, which is another robbery done to the citizens of
this commune where I have neither home nor possessions." "Who
committed this robbery? " "It was Citizen Berger, of the municipal
council." " Was nothing else taken from you?" "They took a silver
coffee-pot, two soap-cases and a silver shaving-dish" "Who took those
articles?" "It was Citizen Miot (a notable of the council)." Miot
confesses to having kept these objects and not taken them to the
Mint.-Ibid., 178. (Vent?se 20, year II.) Prisoners all have their
shoes taken, even those who had but one pair, a promise being made
that they should have sabots in exchange, which they never got. Their
cloaks also were taken with a promise to pay for them, which was never
done.
