The defendant said that he did not have any funds at present belonging to M. Trottier with which to pay; but that he had in his hands obligations due him, of which he was going to force payments to satisfy the said note.
The Court decreed that, in view of the lack of funds in the hands of M. DuCharme and of the absence of M. Trottier, M. Dubreuil shall suspend payment until the month of October of next year and there shall be paid him by M. Trottier the interest accord- ing to the commercial rate. We condemn M.

what the defendant said to M. Beausoleil and their agreement. Whereupon we summoned M. Blay, who, after taking oath on the Holy Gospels and being asked if he knew about the agreement of the parties, said that he did not know the conditions, except that he had understood that M. Lecomte had bought from M. Beau- · soleil the ox for two hundred livres, which is all he said he knew. After examining all, the Court condemns the said Louis Lecomte to pay to M. Beausoleil the sum of two hundred livres for the price of the ox and this without delay, unless the said Beausoleil prefers to take back the ox in case it be found to his liking. We con- demn the said Lecomte to pay the costs, which shall be advanced by M. Beausoleil and reimbursed to him by the said Lecomte.

M. MOTARD, Plaintiff, vs. LAURENT HAMELIN, Defendant.
M. Motard demands of the defendant the payment of his note for the sum of one hundred and four livres sixteen sols in peltries, which is matured. The defendant said that peltries were worth at the time only twenty sols in money and that he never meant to make a note except for one hundred and four livres sixteen sols in money, that he offered to pay the said sum of one hundred and four livres sixteen sols in money and not in peltries.
The said M. Motard answered that it was true that peltries were not worth more than money at the time that the note was ac- cepted; but that, on account of the delay in payment, he demanded that the payment should be made according to the note, and that be- sides it was for equipment; and that he had sold to the said Hamelin, what he had taken, for peltriès and not for money. After consid- ering all, the Court condemned the said Hamelin to pay his entire note for the sum of one hundred and four livres sixteen sols in pel- tries and this without delay, and to pay the costs, which shall be ad- vanced by M. Motard and reimbursed to him by the said Hamelin.

COURT RECORD, JANUARY, 1787
The defendant produced an account of work and of day's labor done at the charge of M. Motard.
Since these accounts could not instruct the Court sufficiently to make it possible to render a just judgment and after examining all, the Court dismissed the parties to plead before arbitrators, before whom they shall produce their accounts.
And in regard to the wheat and crops which they have in part- nership, the Court decided that all shall be accounted for in the mass and that the said wheat shall be thrashed at the common expense, that is to say, M. Motard shall furnish ,a man with his keep and wages and the said Turgeon shall furnish himself with his keep, for the time of the whole thrashing. Without anyone whomsoever meddling with it, the grain shall be divided as follows, one third to Turgeon and two thirds to M. Motard. Yet the seed of the nineteen minots deducted previously by M. Motard, and all the expense of the said crop, as well as some three minots which M. Motard has had sown, and the four minots which Turgeon sowed, shall all be paid from the whole quantity of grain. The threshing-floor of the barn shall be repaired by the said Turgeon and M. Motard at common expense, equally divided.
And for the repairs of the house, which M. Motard demands of the said Turgeon and which the said Turgeon has not made, we condemn the said Turgeon to pay fifty livres to M. Motard for the said repairs. And each shall pay half of the costs of the suit, which shall be advanced by M. Motard, and one half shall be reimbursed to him by the said Turgeon.
The Court adjourned to January 1, 1787.

COURT RECORD, JANUARY, 1787
The defendant answered that he would pay it now, if he had means; but that he would pay it as soon as he could.
Whereupon the Court commanded the defendant to pay what he still owed to the said M. Dumoulin in the course of this month; and when that time was past, the present judgment shall be put in execution. Condemned the defendant to pay the expenses.
On the requsition of Tom Brady the Court has seized from the funds belonging to M. Lorens, tanner on the Spanish side, now in the possession of M. Jean Bte. LaCroix, the value of a side of leather and a spur, which is due him from the said M. Lorens. The Court forbids M. LaCroix to dispossess himself thereof until the said Lorens has satisfied the said Tom Brady or an order thereto has been made; and notice shall be served on the said LaCroix.
On the prayer of M. Beausoleil.
M. Louis Lecomte having refused, upon our judgment ren- dered against him, to pay the said M. Beausoleil, after formal demand and notification of the said judgment was made to him by our huissier, the Court decrees that the land of the said Le- comte, of an arpent in width, situated in the Prairie du Pont adjacent to the lands of Sansfaçon and Courville, shall be seized and sold by judicial sale at the door of the church, after three publications, to the highest bidder for cash and up to the equiva- lent of what he owes to the said Beausoleil with costs and ex- penses.
