Georges Cadoudal appeared in court with the miniature of Louis XVI.

suspended round his neck, and gloried in the avowal of his resolution to make war personally on the usurper of the throne.

The presiding judge, Thuriot, had been one of those who condemned the king to death.

Georges punned on his name, and addressed him as "Monsieur Tue-Roi."[50] When called up for sentence, the judge missed the miniature, and asked him what he had done with it?
"And you," answered the prisoner, "what have you done with the original ?"--a retort which nothing could prevent the audience from applauding.

Georges and eighteen more were condemned to death; and he, and eleven besides, suffered the penalty with heroic firmness.
