Three inhabitants of Chaumont had been wrongly condemned in 1785 for night robberies with break-ins and violence by the bailiwick of their city. The lawyer Mercier Dupaty (1746-1788) took up this case and proved that cavalrymen of the maréchaussée had been guilty of the crime. His defense of the accused, although extremely well-founded, was condemned by the authorities to be torn up and burned. On July 30, 1787, a ruling of the King's Council rehabilitated the convicts and they were released in December 1787, a few months before Dupaty's death. The affair was a major issue in the last years of the Ancien Régime, feeding the mistrust of justice and magistrates. 7/Questions relative aux trois malheureux condamnés à la roue par le Parlement de Paris. London, from the Imprimerie de la Vérité, 1787. 31 pp. RARE (see previous n°); 8/Arrest of the court of Parliament which orders that the anonymous writing entitled: Observations on the protest of the Princes, will be torn and burned by the executor of the High Justice. 1771. 3 ff. in-4 folded in 4.
