(Orders of Carrier and Francastel, October 28, 1793.) "The representatives....

confer collectively and individually, on each member of the revolutionary company, the right of surveillance over all 'suspect' citizens in Nantes, over strangers who come to or reside there, over monopolists of every sort....

The right to make domiciliary visits wherever they may deem it advisable....

The armed force will everywhere respond to the demands made upon it in the name of the company, or of any individual member composing it."-- Berryat Saint-Prix, p.
