〃First; in signing; or causing to be signed; the names of the above Dame de Lamotte to a deed of private contract between the said Derues and his wife on one side and the aforesaid Dame de Lamotte by right of a power of attorney given by her husband on the other (the which deed is dated the twelfth day of February; and was therefore written after the decease of the said Dame de Lamotte); by which deed the said Dame de Lamotte appears to change the previous conventions agreed on in the first deed of the twenty…second of December in the year 1775; and acknowledges receipt from the said Derues of a sum of one hundred thousand livres; as being the price of the estate of Buisson;
〃Secondly; in signing before a notary; the ninth day of February last; a feigned acknowledgment for a third part of a hundred thousand livres; in order to give credence to the pretended payment made by him;
〃Thirdly; in announcing and publishing; and attesting even by oath at the time of an examination before the commissioner Mutel; that he had really paid in cash to the aforesaid Dame de Lamotte the aforesaid hundred thousand livres; and that she; being provided with this money; had fled with her son and a certain person unknown;
〃Fourthly; in depositing with a notary the deed of private contract bearing the pretended receipt for the above sum of one hundred thousand livres; end pursuing at law the execution of this deed and of his claim to the possession of the said estate;
〃Fifthly; in signing or causing to be signed by another person; before the notaries of the town of Lyons; whither he had gone for this purpose; a deed dated the twelfth day of March; by which the supposed Dame de Lamotte appeared to accept the payment of the hundred thousand livres; and to give authority to the Sieur de Lamotte; her husband; to receive the arrears of the remainder of the price of the said estate; the which deed he produced as a proof of the existence of the said Dame de Lamotte;
〃Sixthly; in causing to be sent; by other hands; under the name of the aforesaid Dame de Lamotte; to a lawyer; on the eighth day o f April 1777 (at a time when he was in prison; and had been compelled to abandon the fable that he had paid the aforesaid sum of one hundred thousand livres in hard cash; and had substituted a pretended payment made in notes); the notes pretended to have been given by him in payment to the said Dame de Lamotte
〃Seventh; and finally; in maintaining constantly; until the discovery of the body of the aforesaid Dame de Lamotte; that the said Dame was still alive; and that he had seen her at the town of Lyons; as has been stated above。
〃In atonement has been condemned; etc。 etc。 etc。
〃His goods are hereby declared acquired and confiscated to the King; or to whomsoever His Majesty shall appoint; first deducting the sum of two hundred livres as fine for the King; in case the confiscation is not to the sole profit of His Majesty; and also the sum of six hundred livres for masses to be said for the repose of the souls of the aforesaid Dame de Lamotte and her son。 And; before being executed; the said Antoine…Francois Derues shall suffer the question ordinary and extraordinary; in order that from his mouth may be learned the truth of these facts; and also the names of his accomplices。 And the decision of the judges in the proceedings with regard to the above…mentioned Marie…Louise Nicolais; wife of Derues; is delayed until after the execution of the above sentence。 It is also decreed that the mortuary act of the aforesaid de Lamotte the younger; dated the sixteenth day of February last; in the register of deaths belonging to the parish church of Saint…Louis at Versailles; be amended; and his correct names be substituted; in order that the said Sieur de Lamotte; the father; and other persons interested; may produce said names before the magistrates if required。 And it is also decreed that this sentence be printed and published by the deputy of the Attorney…General at the Chatelet; and affixed to the walls in the usual places and cross roads of the town; provostship and viscounty of Paris; and wherever else requisite。
〃With regard to the petition of Pierre…Etienne de Saint…Faust de Lamotte; a Royal Equerry; Sieur de Grange…Flandre; Buisson…Souef; Valperfond; and other places; widower and inheritor of Marie Francois Perier; his wife; according to their marriage contract signed before Baron and partner; notaries at Paris; the fifth day of September 1762; whereby he desires to intervene in the action brought against Derues and his accomplices; concerning the assassination and poisoning committed on the persons of the wife and son of the said Sieur de Saint…Faust de Lamotte; on the accusation made by him to the Deputy Attorney…General of the King at the Chatelet at present pending in the Court; on the report of the final judgment given in the said action the 3oth of April last; and which allowed the intervention; it is decreed that there shall be levied on the goods left by the condemned; before the rights of the Treasury; and separate from them; the sum of six thousand livres; or such other sum as it shall please the Court to award; from which sum the said Saint…Faust de Lamotte shall consent to deduct the sum of two thousand seven hundred and forty…eight livres; which he acknowledges has been sent or remitted to him by the said Derues and his wife at different times; which first sum of six thousand livres; or such other; shall be employed by the said Sieur de Saint…Faust de Lamotte; who is authorised to found therewith; in the parish church of Saint Nicholas de Villeneuve…le…Roy; in which parish the estate of Buisson…Souef is situate; and which is mentioned in the action; an annual and perpetual service for the repose of the souls of the wife and son of the said Sieur de Saint…Faust de Lamotte; of which an act shall be inserted in the decree of intervention; and a copy of this act or decree shall be inscribed upon a stone which shall be set in the wall of the said church of Saint Nicholas de Villeneuve…le…Roy; in such place as is expedient。 And the deed of contract for private sale; made between the late spouse of the said Sieur de Saint…Faust de Lamotte and the above…named Derues and his wife; is hereby declared null and void; as having had no value in absence of any payment or realisation of contract before a notary; and the pretended agreement of the twelfth day of February last; as also all other deeds fabricated by the said Derues or others; named in the above action; as also any which may hereafter be presented; are hereby declared to be null and void。
〃The Court declares the judgment pronounced by the magistrates of the Chatelet against the above named Derues to be good and right; and his appeal against the same to be bad and ill…founded。
