COURT RECORD, MAY, 1784
dant of St. Louis to have repaired a boat1 belonging to M. Du- Charme, which he had taken without permission into the Illinois River, or to pay for it, if it was beyond repair; but that when he came to do it, he had not found the said boat; and, since he has learned that the said Lafleur had taken it to carry stone, likewise without permission of anyone, the said Prevost prays that the said Lafleur be condemned to repair the said boat or pay for it, if it is beyond repair, and to pay all expenses.
Pierre Lafleur answers that it is true that he took the boat; but that it was with the permission of Bte. Baron and because he believed that the boat was M. I .. DuCharme's.
Bte. Baron appeared and said that he had not permitted the said Lafleur to take it; that he had only told the said Lafleur to ask permission from Charles Lefevre, who had been sent to him here. But since Lafleur persisted in saying that the said Baron had given him permission, and the said Baron persisted in saying, "No", the said Lafleur demands of the said Baron his oath, and says that then he will agree.
Bte. Baron appeared and made oath that he had not told the said Lafleur to take the said boat, since it belonged to M. Du- Charme; but that he had only told him to ask permission of Charles Lefevre, who had charge of it.
The Court condemned the said Lafleur to put the said boat in condition for use, or to pay for it, according to the petition of the said Prevost. And the said Prevost shall pay the costs of justice for having made use of the boat without permission.
At a Court of the 6th of May last, it was decreed that Pierre Grandmont should produce his proofs to justify his withdrawal of Prenouvau's little daughter from the house of Jos. Cesirre.
Pierre Grandmont appeared and produced an authority from the said Prenouvau to withdraw his daughter from Jos. Cecirre's, if she was undeservedly badly treated, and brought forward Pierre Charpentier as witness of the bad treatment given the said little girl by Jos. Cesirre and his wife.
Pierre Charpentier appeared and made oath to tell the truth in answer to the questions put to him, and said that he was present

In consideration of the authority given the said Grandmont by Prenouvau and of the declaration of Pierre Charpantier, the Court is of the opinion that the said Grandmont shall keep the little girl, and condemns the said Cesirre to pay all the costs of justice and denies all his prayers on the subject.
Joseph Lember sues Joseph Pelletier for a piece of land in the Prairie du Pont, which was taken up in accordance with the agreement among the inhabitants; but as there was found to be great difficulty about the fence of this said land even in the longest time requested, it was decided by an assembly that for the surety of the said fences, if anyone should not secure his land by building his fence, it would be given to another. Conse- quently M. Girardin, accompanied by a witness, demanded of all those, who had lands, if they wished to build the fences or abandon their land. Since the said Lember gave no definite answer, according to M. Girardin's affidavit he had had it built by another, who is enjoying the land.
The Court is of the opinion that the parties should take arbitra- tors to settle their difference, and condemns the loser to pay the costs of justice.

The plaintiff sues the defendant for the sum of one hundred and fifty-six livres in money, which he owes him.
The defendant appeared and declared that he owed the said sum to the said plaintiff; but that he was not in a position to satisfy it, because there is due to him money also, which he cannot collect; and he prays likewise of the Court that the persons owing him be likewise condemned to pay.
The Court ordered the defendant to pay these one hundred and fifty-six livres, which he owes the said plaintiff, reserving to him the right to sue the persons, who owe him.

ANT. LAMARCHE, Plaintiff, vs JOSEPH CESIRRE, Defendant.
The plaintiff sues the defendant saying that the former acted as bondsman for Ant. Harmand for the sum of two thousand and some hundred livres, which he owed Madame Beausoleil; but that he had done it only on the promise, which Joseph Cesirre had made to pay him a sum of seven hundred and some livres, which Cesirre owes to the said Ant. Harmand. Therefore he begs the Court to compel the said Cesirre to pay the said sum, so that he can satisfy the debt of the said Ant. Harmond
The plaintiff [defendant ?] answers that it is true that he owes that sum to Ant. Harmand; but that he had agreed with the latter to pay him in work, and that if he had not agreed to that, the defendant would not be so greatly in his debt.
Considering the defence of the defendant against the said Ant. Harmand, who is absent, the Court ordered Jos. Cesirre to pay the plaintiff three hundred livres in money for the present, while waiting for the return of Ant. Harmand to terminate the agreement, which they have made together.
The Court adjourned to September 2.

The plaintiff sues the defendant for the sum one hundred and eighty-eight piastres gourdes and four escalin1 according to his note of the month of December last, which has fallen due, and demands a mortgage on the defendant's goods, if he gives him two months for the payment; in default of which payment he prays that there be granted him permission to have the said mortgaged goods sold.
The defendant answers that because he could not come down into the village, he has been unable to pay his bill; but he offers M. Motard the mortgage on his house, two arpents2 of land in the Prairie du Pont and a barn with its yard on Fox Hill; and that M. Motard may have them sold, if he does not pay within the time he gives him.
The Court is of the opinion that M. Motard should accept the offer which Vaudry makes him and that he may make the latter sell the said property, which he offers him in mortgage, in default of payment.

The defendant answers that a few days ago he had killed some animals for which he had not yet been paid, which put him till now out of position to satisfy his note; and he prays for a delay of of fortnight to make an instalment of a thousand livres.
The Court granted the defendant a fortnight to pay the plaint- iff one thousand livres in money, as he prays, and these terms were · accepted by the plaintiff, who promises to give credit for the bal- ance. But in default of payment within the said fortnight, the plaintiff is authorized to have goods of the defendant's sold up to that sum.
