Bill of indictment: "One of these publicly boasted of always having voted death.

Others state that they were content to see people to give their judgment; physical inspection alone determined them to vote death.

Another said, that when there was no offense committed it was necessary to imagine one.

Another is a regular sot and has never sat in judgment but in a state of intoxication.

Others came to the bench only to fire their volleys." Etc.
(Supporting evidence.)--"Observe, moreover, that judges and juries are bound to kill under penalty of death (Ibid.,30)." Fouquier-Tinville states that on the 22nd of Prairial he took the same step (to resign) with Chatelet, Brochet and Lerry, when they met Robespierre, returning to the National Convention arm-in-arm with Barere.
