2 This case was begun by Levy bringing suit against Lapancé for the ox in the court of the justice of the week, September 7, 1785. Girardin declared that the ox was his, when he sold it to Lapancé, and offered as proof that his brand as well as Levy's was on the animal. Arbitrators were appointed, who decided in favor of Levy. Two days later Girardin appealed from the decision .- Record of the justice of the week in Belleville, Ill.

Trottier as a fifth judge. The other magistrates were not able to give their opinion, since they were either witnesses or had served in the first suit1. For this reason we, the magistrates herebefore named, are of the opinion, and our decision is, that M. Girardin shall return to M. Levy an ox of the same age as that which is at present the subject of the contestation; which ox the said M. Levy shall be compelled to accept in place of the one sold in good faith by M. Girardin to M. Forget; and we condemn each to pay half of the costs, which have been made, and those made for the present judgment, for which there will be execution without any appeal or reference to another session; such is our opinion and our decision.2 [Signed]

rendered on the registers of the Court, of all which we have received a perfect knowledge, and after we have instructed ourselves of the cause concerning the ox in dispute, since the first inspection up to this day; and after we have made this said day an inspection of the said ox and of the mark on the buttock, after having it shaved for greater sureness and clearness; and after being fully instructed of all the said litigation and having given our votes according to our conscience in consequence of the oath which we have taken; we are all agreed and condemn Antoine Girardin to return to M. Levy, as it is his own, the same ox which the former sold to M. Joseph Lapancé, to which M. Joseph Lapancé is constrained conjointly and severally with the said M. Girardin, since the ox is at present in the possession of the said Joseph Lapancé, reserving to the said MM. Girardin and Lapancé to make arrangements together to do each other justice for the said ox either by gift of another to the said Lapancé from M. Girardin or by making arrangements as seem good to them; without power by the said M. Girardin or Lapancé to retain the ox in litigation a longer time, but it shall be returned to the said M. Levy within twenty-four hours: and furthermore we condemn M. Antoine Girardin to pay all costs and charges from the commencement of the suit up to this day, which costs shall be determined by the Court. Such is our opinion and our decision, and we have signed and made our marks this said day and year.

COURT RECORD, NOVEMBER, 1785
In view of the prayer of M. LaCroix we have accepted his resig- nation and relieved him of the trade with the savages in this post and of all the conditions by which he was bound by the decree of March 8, 1782.
Labuxiere, Clerk.

And now appeared MM. Isaac Levy and Tom. Brady, citizens of this village, who petitioned the Court to grant them the same commerce and privileges, of which M. LaCroix gave his resigna- tion, and they offer to conform to the decree of March 8, 1782. Whereupon the Court has granted and does grant to the petitioners the same privilege, which had been herebefore given to the said M. LaCroix; and they have made oath to conform thereto the said day and year.
Brady.
J. B. H. LaCroix, Pres. Labuxiere, Clerk.
The Court assembled to remedy the continual abuses, which are daily committed in this village through the liquor which is served to the savages, from which there results effects very danger- ous and penicious to the welfare and the tranquillity of the public.
The Court has forbidden and does forbid very expressly all persons, of whatever quality and condition they may be, to give any intoxicating drink, even a draught, to the savages under pretext of social visit, of acquaintance, by way of trade or other- wise, either on their arrival or their departure, on pain of three hundred livres fine and confiscation of the business they have made, and of greater punishment in case of second offense; in regard to which the savages shall be believed on their affidavit without need of greater proof, and the savages shall be held until they have made their affidavit. We reserve, however, to M. Trottier, commandant of this village, the liberty to give some with prudence and moderation, when the savages shall come to see him either for holding councils or on other occasions when a commandant cannot dispense therewith, as it is customary. Given at the session of the Court the said day and year. And the present decree shall be read, published and placarded on the door

M. JEAN DUMOULIN, Plaintiff, vs. PIERRE TROGE, Defendant.
The Plaintiff produced a note against the defendant for the sum of seven hundred and eighty-one livres fifteen sols in money, which is matured, and demands payment.
The defendant acknowledged the note and said that he did not have wherewith to pay at present and demands delay for a week to make arrangements with M. Caillot with whom he had some accounts. The plaintiff replied that until that time M. LaCroix ought not to dispose of forty-five sacks of corn, which he had, belonging to the said Troge.
The Court justly granted the delay of a week to the said Troge and until that time attached for security the forty-five sacks of corn in the hands of M. LaCroix, that orders may be given as may be fitting, when that time is passed.
