On the representation of M. de St. Pierre, curé of this parish, that several inhabitants domiciled in this village have refused to give the blessed bread, believing that it was not an obliga- tion; and after he had shown us the evidence thereof, we com- manded the said inhabitants to give the blessed bread, each in his turn and on the days of obligations; in default of which they shall be condemned to pay ten livres to the church, as is at present the law; and we command the wardens to use the money to have some bread made to make up the deficiency. Such is our opinion.

1 Madame Tom Brady was born in St. Joseph in 1734 and lived successively in Michilli- mackinac, Chicago, and Cahokia. Before marrying Brady she had had three husbands, La- flamme, Sainte Ange, and Lecompte. She exercised great power over the Indians, and through her personal influence at times saved Cahokia from attack. She was universally respected at Cahokia, where she died at an advanced age .- Reynolds, Pioneer History, 136. Reynolds says that she was a daughter of Laflamme, but the case on p. 277 shows that she was his widow.
