effects belonging to the said Jean Marie Trottier, which are at his house, in order that they be sold to satisfy his debts.
ANT. HARMAND Plaintiff, vs. Jos. CESIRRE, Defendant.
The plaintiff sues the defendant for a payment, which the latter made him in peltries. The plaintiff says that when he was at the defendant's house to get the said peltries, he asked the defendant, if the peltries were of good quality, and that he answered that he had received them for good ones.
The defendant says that it is true that he said to the plaintiff that he had received them for peltries of good quality and that he might have the receipt made for them, and if they were not worth anything, to send them back to him; but the plaintiff kept them six days and he no longer wished to take them back.
The Court condemned the plaintiff to keep the payment which the defendant made him, because he did not send the peltries back immediately, since he was not content with them, and to pay the costs.
The Court adjourned to September 6.

I Godefroy Linctot was, I think, a Cahokian Frenchman. He raised the first company for Clark among the inhabitants of that village. When Clark was expecting to attack Detroit Major Linctot was sent by way of the Illinois River. He was at the time Indian commissioner for the region of that river. He was later regularly employed as commissioner by the state of Virginia and his knowledge of the Indian languages made him a very useful officer. There is a letter from him to Clark printed on page 553. Before the end of the war he was killed. -Va. State Pap. ii., 325, 405, 428; English, Conquest of the Northwest, i., 370

The plaintiff sues the defendant for a mare, which he says he bought unbranded at Peoria, and which the defendant claims and has taken at the house of M. Janis with whom the plaintiff had exchanged her.
The defendant answers that the mare, which the plaintiff claims, belongs to him, as he brought it from the Post; 2 and that the said mare was stolen from him at the Little Village 3 by the savages; and he produced several certificates that the said mare belongs to him, and offers to produce other proof both from people of the Post and of Kaskaskia.
The Court dismissed the said parties to have their cause decided at Kaskaskia seeing that the mare is there and they can produce greater [proof] to terminate their differences.

The plaintiff sues the defendant, demanding that he give him proof of the injury that the plaintiff did him in not keeping the agreement, which they had made, to go down to New Orleans.
The defendant answers that he refused forty piastres to go to New Orleans, offered by M. Motard, in order to keep the engage- ment which he had made with the plaintiff.
The Court condemned the defendant to restore to the plaintiff the mare, which the latter had given him in advance, deciding that the service, which he had had from the said mare, would do for damages. The Court decreed that the plaintiff shall be free to engage himself to another, if he so desires, and con- demned him to pay all the costs.

latter sold him, of which said quantity the plaintiff has received fifty pounds.
The defendant answers that he had agreed with the plaintiff for six hundred pounds of flour or one hundred and twenty pounds of deer-skins, in default of flour.
The plaintiff produces three witnesses, who say that they heard the defendant say that he owed six hundred pounds of flour for a horse, which he had bought of the plaintiff.
Since neither has proof to offer, the Court put them to oath; and since each refused to take the other's oath, the Court dis- missed the present cause, not being able to pass judgment, and both have been condemned only to pay the costs.
Jos. PLANTE, Plaintiff, vs. Jos. VAUDRY, Defendant.
The plaintiff sues the defendant saying that the latter engaged him to hunt while going down to New Orleans, and that in consequence he had sold many of his goods, which were very useful to him, and even his corn, which was a great resource to him, and that now the defendant has backed out of his agreement, which does the plaintiff a considerable injury and he prays that the said defendant be condemned to pay him damages.
The defendant answers that he informed the plaintiff the evening before he was going to start that it was not possible for him to continue his journey.
The plaintiff says that he had asked the defendant for five days to finish some little jobs, which he had for different persons, and that during this interval he had asked the defendant, if he was very sure of making the journey which they had agreed to make, to which the latter always replied that he should consider himself engaged and that he would start. In consequence he had given up several jobs, which he could not finish, and sold what he had here as well as in a canoe, corn, salt and other things, which would be of great assistance to him to-day.
The Court condemned the defendant to reimburse the plaintiff sixty livres in kind for damages and to pay the costs.

The plaintiff sues the defendant in order that he render him an account of what the late Dubois owed him, since he had had the property, which remained after the death of the said Dubois.
The defendant answers that when they were on the point of holding the auction of the goods of the late Dubois, he withdrew, with the approval of M. Joseph Lepage, judge of the Court, all the articles remaining of those which he had sold to the late Dubois, and that the rest had been sold and that the proceeds of the sale must be in the hands of M. DuCharme, since he had caused the sale to be made. He prays the Court to name a day at another Court that he may produce his account against the said Dubois, since he was not forewarned of this suit.
The Court in accordance with his prayer granted Charles Gratiot till the next Court, Thursday, the 8th of the present month, to appear and produce his account.
At the same Court Louis Lemay was for bidden to settle at Prairie du Pont, as it had been already forbidden him to do.

The plaintiff sues the defendant saying that he treated the defendant for a sickness for the sum of four hundred livres and after some time the defendant assured him that he no longer felt any symptoms of his sickness. He ceased caring for him and afterwards, when he asked for his pay, the defendant refused, saying that he had not cured him entirely.
Bte. Dumay, after having made oath to tell the truth concern- ing the agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant, affirmed that the plaintiff was bound to cure perfectly the defendant and that he heard the defendant say that he was not cured, but only relieved.
The defendant says that the plaintiff was obliged to cure him perfectly and that he was not and is not cured; that he only felt some relief from the first treatment of the plaintiff.
