COURT RECORD, OCTOBER, 1789
At a Court meeting in special session at the prayer of CHARLES GERMAIN, VS. LOUIS GAUD.

Magistrates.
M. Germain said that he claimed from Louis Gaud his horse which the savages had stolen from him; and that he had made a bargain with the said Louis Gaud that if he brought his horse back to him that he would give a cow and her calf to be chosen among his stock; that the said Louis Gaud had brought away the horse, but that he refused to deliver it to him except for a cow and her calf and a bull of eighteen months to boot; that he offered to give the said cow and her calf; but that he was not obliged according to his agreement to give the bull to boot; that the said Louis Gaud was free to bring it back for the price agreed upon or to leave it; and he concludes that the costs of the special session should be found against the said Louis Gaud.
The said Louis Gaud replied that there was no agreement in regard to the facts which the said Germain advances; that it is true that he agreed with the said Germain to do his best to bring his horse away; but that if it cost him more than the value of the cow and calf that he should pay him the extra cost, which has been denied by the said Germain, who maintained that the agreement was only for the cow and calf and he offers to furnish proofs to the Court by witnesses. Whereupon the said Germain sum- moned M. François Trottier, commandant, who, after the Court summoned him to tell the truth thereof, said that he was present at Louis Gaud's when Germain entered there to reclaim his horse; that he said to Louis Gaud: "Uncle! What are you going to do about it? I have come to get my horse. Your cow and calf are in my yard. Come and choose them;" that Louis Gaud replied: "Your horse cost me more than that. I can't give it to you for the cow and calf. If you wish to give me a bull of eighteen months to boot, you shall have it. Or I have one

of like age; if you wish it, I will give it to you and I will keep the horse; " that Germain had not wished to agree to this, and that he had answered: "I agreed with you to give you a cow and her calf. I offer it to you. I have not agreed to give you more and [if it cost more] you should have left my horse."
Have summoned Ignace Grondine whom, after taking oath to tell the truth, we asked if he had knowledge of the bargain of Charles Germain and Louis Gaud; and he said that he had knowledge, since he was in Peoria with the said Louis Gaud as his engagé; and that the said Louis Gaud had sent him with Mailhet to buy the horse and that he had set out with Mailhet; but that having arrived at the Bluffs, he had returned; that on his return Louis Gaud had said to him: "Why have you come back? You should have gone there. You will be the cause that I do not have the horse and I shall not have the cow and her calf, which have been promised me for the horse. " This is all that he said he knew.
We have summoned François Grondine, whom, after oath was made by him to tell the truth, we have asked if he had knowl- ledge of the bargain made between Charles Germain and Louis Gaud and he said that some days after Louis Gaud and Germain had made their bargain, he, the deponent, was at Louis Gaud's and asked him, if he wished to bring back for him his mare which the savages had stolen, and that Louis Gaud had said to him that if he was willing to give him a cow and her calf as Germain was doing, that he would bring it back to him, if he found it; and that he, the deponent, had agreed to give him a cow and her calf or forty piastres, if he brought back his mare; but that he had not brought it back; which is all that he said he knew.
We summoned François Duchenau, whom, after he had made oath to tell the truth, we asked if he had knowledge of the bargain made between Louis Gaud and Charles Germain, and he said that he was at Peoria and was walking with Mailhet who had already bought the horse in question for Louis Gaud, and he asked Mailhet what it had cost and that he had answered him: "I have given two barrels of brandy to be chosen among eight and

1 Filet is an expression still used among the French of Canada and the Mississippi valley. As used below by the next witness it means a drink from a faucet or bunghole. In this place both the reading of the word and the interpretation are doubtful.

two swigs;1 that the deponent had answered, "It is very dear; " that Mailhet had answered: "It is not too dear, since Louis Gaud has a cow and her calf for getting the horse from the sav- ages"; which is all that he said he knew.
We summoned Antoine Girardin, a boy and resident, whom, after he had made oath to tell the truth, we asked if he had knowl- edge of the bargain between Louis Gaud and Charles Germain and he said that he was present at Louis Gaud's the day that Germain came there; that the said Germain said to Gaud: "Uncle, bring my horse back to me and I will give you a cow and her calf; that he, the deponent, was taking a swig and did not give attention to what they may have said further. Reading made to him of his affidavit and he has said that it contained the truth and that it is all that he knows.
After the parties were heard and in view of the depositions of the witnesses, the Court in assembly after mature examination, condemned Louis Gaud to deliver the horse to Charles Germain, and to receive the cow and the calf which the latter agreed to give him,according to the depositions of witnesses. We condemn further- more the said Louis Gaud in all costs and charges of the special session, which shall be advanced by the said Germain and reim- bursed to him by the said Louis Gaud, according to the account determined by the Court and which amount to the sum of four hundred and eighty-seven livres ten sols,2 for which there will be execution notwithstanding all opposition or appeal.

On the explanatory petition of MM. Laille and Arundel, tradesmen of this post, that some tradesmen of St. Louis were making to M.

Laille and M. Arundel and other representa- tives forbids the said Louis Gaud to make any payment on the other bank, to send across any peltries or payment or likewise any merchandise, effects of whatsoever nature; and it declares, furthermore, the seizure made by M. Roubidou of no value and as not made, until the said Gaud has first entirely satisfied all the claims and debts which he owes on this bank, on penalty of con- fiscation of the said peltries or payment that he may send and these shall be seized to satisfy the claims of this place, for which there will be execution the said day and year.

We Antoine Girardin, president and magistrate of the Court of Cahokia, on the representation made to us by M. Antoine Tabeau, merchant of this bank, who has made oath of fidelity there- to and established his domicile in the house of Charles Lefevre, resident of this post, and who, in his quality of citizen of this bank, has learned that the goods of Louis Gaud, trader of this post, had been seized by M. Robidou, merchant of the Spanish bank, under pretext of advances made to the said Louis Gaud, which seizure was annulled by this Court the first of this month, in order that the true citizens of this bank, and known as such, should have the privilege of being paid from the goods of the said Louis Gaud in preference of all other alien merchants who have taken no oath of fidelity on this bank and to the American government.
IN CONSEQUENCE we have permitted and do permit the said Antoine Tabeau, merchant of this bank who has taken oath of fidelity thereto and established his domicile thereon, to seize, distrain and place under the hand of justice all the goods, personal and real, of the said Louis Gaud, as last furnisher; to seize, dis- train, sequester and establish a guardian therefor and a depositary for all peltries, tallow, oil and other effects which the said Louis Gaud may make and bring thereof to this place by his trades, and also those which he shall be found to have in his possession in his
