of　the　Cantal　directory；　Oct。　24。　On　the　16th　of　October　at

Chaudesaigues　the　volunteers　break　open　a　door　and　then　kill　one　of

their　comrades　who　opposes　them；　whom　the　commissary　tries　to　save。

The　mayor　of　the　place；　in　uniform；　leads　them　to　the　dwellings　of

aristocrats；　urging　them　on　to　pillage；　they　enter　a　number　of　houses

by　force　and　exact　wine。　The　next　day　at　Saint…Urcize　they　break　into

the　house　of　the　former　curé；　devastate　or　pillage　it；　and　〃sell　his

furniture　to　different　persons　in　the　neighborhood。〃　The　same

treatment　is　awarded　to　sieur　Vaissier；　mayor；　and　to　lady　Lavalette；

their　cellars　are　forced　open；　barrels　of　wine　are　taken　to　the　public

square；　and　drinking　takes　place　from　the　tap。　After　this　〃the

volunteers　go　in　squads　into　the　neighboring　parishes　and　compel　the

inhabitants　to　give　them　money　or　effects。〃　The　commissary　and

municipal　officers　of　St。　Urcize　who　tried　to　mediate　were　nearly

killed　and　were　saved　only　through　the　efforts　of　a　detachment　of

regular　cavalry。　As　to　the　Jacobin　mayor　of　Chaudesaigues；　it　was

natural　that　he　should　preach　pillage；　on　the　sale　of　the　effects　of

the　nuns　〃he　kept　all　bidders　away；　and　had　things　knocked　down　to　him

for　almost　nothing。〃
