"MÉMOIRE signifié pour Messire François DU CARROU DE VALENCIENNES, Chevalier, Colonel de Cavalerie, Ancien Exempt des Gardes du Corps du Roy, Seigneur de MESSIÈRES, des CHÊNE-BECARD grand & petit, ayant pris le fait & cause de ses Fermiers, appelant d'une Sentence par défaut rendue au Bailliage de LA FERTÉ ALEPS, du 7 avril 1734. Contre M. le Prince de CONTY, Seigneur par engagement du domaine & comté de la FERTÉ-ALEPS, & M. de MONTULLÉ Conseiller en la Cour, son Curateur causes, ayant pris le fait & cause du Sous-Fermier du Domaine de LA FERTÉ ALEPS, intimé": "Can a Seigneur in the Coutume de Paris or similar claim banality, even outside his Fief, without having either title or possession? Such is the question raised by the Farmers of the LA FERTÉ ALEPS mills, or rather such is the untenable claim they wish to have adopted...". - FACT "The Appellant owns several Fiefs at a great distance from la FERTÉ ALEPS, which are not within the jurisdiction of the County of la Ferté; the Fief of Messières is part of the Marquisate of VAIRES, which is in the full Fief of the King; The Fief du grand CHÊNEBÉCARD, which has high, medium and low justice, as well as the Chêne coué farm, comes under the Barony of LABORDE-FOURNIER, LEZ BRIE-COMTE-ROBERT, Domaine Royal; & the Fief du petit Chênebécard,... belongs to the Barony of MILLY en Gâtinois: these Fiefs have never had anything in common with the Domaine de LA FERTÉ ALEPS, which was once a simple Châtellenie and only began to belong to the King when he acquired it in 1394...". - Printed by V. DELORMEL, 9 pages in-folio.
