two of the Forest and Streams department, two of the Election, two of
the Salt-department, two of the Customs, two of the Mint, two Council

body of Angers, consequently, comprises two deputies of the society of
lawyers and procureurs, two of the notarial body, one of the
University, one of the Chapter, a Syndic of the clerks, etc. - At
Troyes (Albert Babeau," Histoire de Troyes Pendant la R?volution,"
p.23.) Among the notables of the municipality may be found one member
of the clergy, two nobles, one officer of the bailiwick, one officer
of the other jurisdictions, one physician, one or two bourgeois, one
lawyer, one notary or procureur, four merchants and two members of the
trade guild.
