M. CHARLES CADRON, Plaintiff, vs. MATURIN BOUVET, Defendant.
M. Charles Cadron claims a bell from M. Bouvet which he said he had reserved by verbal agreement and included with the other pieces of furniture which he had reserved by his contract of sale entered into with the said M. Bouvet, and he declared that he had reserved the bell expressly by verbal agreement with the said M. Bouvet.
Heard the said M. Bouvet who said that M. Cadron had sold him the bell and that it was part of the grounds, as it was nailed and attached to two posts set in the earth and planks were nailed above the posts, and that it made part of the land as being attached to and planted therein 1.
The said M. St. Pierre [M. Cadron ?] 2 replied that although the bell was not expressly reserved in the contract, that he reserved it three times by verbal agreement with the said M. Bouvet.
This the said M. Bouvet denied and maintained that the said M. Cadron had sold it to him, which has been equally denied by the said M. Cadron, who maintained that the bell belonged to him.
In consideration of the prayers, replies and answers of the parties and after having maturely considered that the bell, since it was attached to posts set in the ground and covered with planks, made part of the grounds and is appurtenant to it and consequently could not be taken away without breaking, and that besides there was no specific agreement in writing which proves that the said M. Cadron reserved it particularly, the said Court adjudges the bell to the grounds as making part thereof and condemns M. Cadron to pay the costs of the judgment.
M. St. Pierre, curé of this parish, presented a petition under date of to-day, in which he claims some joists belonging to the church of Cahokia, which are in the house belonging to Pierre

COURT RECORD, JULY, 1789
Martin, that was sold by decree at the door of the church, after being seized by virtue of the mortgage which the deceased Du- buque had on the said house; concerning which joists the church wardens made their affidavit at the second crying of the auction, and the said house was adjudged at the third crying to M. Du- moulin for two hundred and five livres. The said Court assem- bled decrees concerning the said petition that the joists shall be paid for at the rate of three livres the piece by whomsoever it shall concern in accordance with the appraisement which has herebefore been made of them; and that, if there should not be found in the house the quantity that Martin borrowed, what is lacking shall be paid for out of the price of the auction sale of the house.
ISIDORE SAVOY called Cadien vs. M. ST. PIERRE, curé.
The plaintiff claims four minots of peas which M. St. Pierre seized and which he allowed to rot in the place where they were seized. The said peas at the rate of 10 livres the minot amount to 40 livres and the said seizure was made for 14 livres, which the said Savoy offers to deduct from the 40 livres. Heard M. St. Pierre, represented by Philippe Engel, who said that the said plaintiff had not made arrangements before his departure for the Little Bluffs.1 Parties heard, the Court condemned M. St. Pierre to pay to the said Savoy, the plaintiff, the sum of twenty- six livres for the excess of the loss of the peas and to pay the costs, set at 15 livres. Ant. Girardin.
M. Labuxiere set forth that he had made all diligence possible in the collection of the debts due the estate of the deceased Du- buque and had even made his protest at the door of the church, of which the Court has knowledge. Consequently there shall be allowed him for all his labor of collecting the notes, both for those on which nothing has been paid and for those which he has collected, ten percent, after he has made a simple summons to pay through the huissier.
July 5, issued a writ of seizure and arrest to François Chevalier against Antoine Lamarche to be in force until arrangements are made between them.

ISIDORE SAVOY and CATHERINE PENCRASSE, on complaint of his wife, Plaintiffs, vs. JEAN BTE. LABECASSE accused and held in irons for lack of prison, defendant.
The said Catherine Pencrasse accuses the said Jean Bte. Labecasse of coming to her house to ask her if she wished to come with his wife to gather mulberries and that she had answered, "yes;" and that he had taken her behind him on the croup and that he had passed the bridge of the Prairie du Pont and had followed the old road of the enclosures, and that being in the road the said Labecasse had turned off on a little path in the woods; and that she had said to him: "Where are you taking me? This is not the road;" that he had said, after having ad- vanced into the woods: "Get down! I must enjoy you;" that, when she had said that this should not be and that she would not consent thereto, he, having dismounted, had taken her and thrown her on the ground in spite of the cries which she uttered and in spite of all her resistance, and that he had enjoyed her and had violated her, since she did not have enough strength to oppose his undertaking; and that he had even bruised one of her breasts which was already sore; that he had afterwards asked if she wished him to take her to the village and that she had made no opposition because she was in the woods; and that he had brought her back to the bridge, where she had dismounted from behind him; and that he had left her in that place in a condition of greatest affliction.
Heard also the said Labecasse who acknowledges that he had sought out the said Catherine Pencrasse at her house to go for mulberries; and he acknowledges that he had made the proposal to her on the road, but he says he did not lay his hands on her or force her; and he acknowledges that he was in the wrong in having made the proposal to her and that he had been drinking;

COURT RECORD, JULY, 1789
and he says that the said Pencrasse does not speak the truth, when she says that he forced her; that when he saw that she was unwilling to consent, he had brought her back to the bridge where he had left her. This is all that they have said in regard to their prayers and defences.
All examined and considered the Court knowing, from a recital which has been made to the president of the Court that the said Catherine Pencrasse has once before, two years ago, exposed herself to being forced by the said Labecasse and that she again vol- untarily exposed herself to the undertaking of the said Labecasse by having accepted the invitation to go berrying, which he proposed to her, and that in the woods she remounted behind the said Labecasse to return to the village after the pretended violation, which she says had been committed on her person, is of the opin- ion that she has not avoided nor kept out of the way of the danger of which she complains, but that on the contrary she gave occasion to it. The Court by decree non-suits the parties and imposes silence in regard to the pretended violation, and forbids the said Labecasse to make an attempt on the chastity of the said Pencrasse in the future and sentences him to remain two times twenty-four hours in irons in the custody of the bailiff of the Court, where he shall be fed on bread and water commencing from this day, the present hour, and commands the bailiff to see to it that the present punishment be observed and this because of the attempt which the said Labecasse made on the virtue of the said Pencrasse. The said Court condemns each of the parties to pay half of the costs of the special session for which there will be execution.

LOUIS COSTE, Plaintiff, vs. IGNANCE CHATIGNY, Defendant.
The plaintiff brings complaint against the said Ignance Chati- gny that he took an ox of his in the commons and gave it to M. Beausoleil to slaughter on condition of a quarter being reserved for himself, and he said to the plaintiff that he had lost it to him, since he (Chatigny) won it at play; that he, Coste, said to Chatigny that he would not give him any ox, but that he was going to pay him and this the said Chatigny had accepted; that in spite of their agreement the said M. Chatigny had had it taken and slaughtered to-day without order or consent of the said plaintiff and contrary to their agreement.
Heard the said Chatigny who acknowledged that he had agreed with the said Coste to receive the note of the said Coste in pay- ment; but, since he had delayed remitting the note and had refused to deliver the note to François Lapancé, he had said to Beausoleil to make his arrangements about it, on condition that he gave him a quarter thereof.
The plaintiff replied that he had won this ox from the said Beausoleil and that the said Beausoleil had delivered it to him; and that M. Chatigny ought not to have disposed of it nor have paid himself by his own hands, after having agreed to make

The said Chatigny demanded the deposition of François La- pancé, who now appeared and after oath had been made by him to tell the truth, said that he was present at the game between `the parties, and that, after the said Coste lost the ox, he said to Chatigny, "The ox is yours, it belongs to you," and that M. Alarie who was present said to Coste: "If you do not judge it fitting to come to deliver it, I know it and will show it to you."
M. Bte. Alarie appeared and after oath was made by him to tell the truth, said that he had offered to show the ox to Chatigny, because he knew it; but that Coste had answered nothing, that he had only said, "We will see."
After the parties and the witnesses were heard, the Court con- demns M. Chatigny to render, or pay for, a similar ox to the said Louis Coste without delay and annuls the play between them. We condemn furthermore the said Chatigny to pay the costs of the special session, for which there will be execution. These costs amount to two hundred and thirty five livres and shall be paid to the said Coste by the said Chatigny without delay.1
