Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chevalier De Maison Rouge, Vol. 1 On the next day, which was the loth of March, all the Montagnard deputies were present at the sitting. The Jacobins, armed, filled the tribunes, after having turned out the women; the mayor presented himself with the Council of the Commune, confirming the report of the Commimioners of the Convention respecting the devoted ness of the citizens, but repeating the wish, unanimously expressed the preceding evening, for a Tribunal Extraor dinary appointed to judge the traitors. The report of the Committee was instantly demanded with loud voci ferations. The Committee met immediately, and in five minutes afterward Robert Lindet declared that a Tribunal would be formed, composed of nine judges (independent of all forms, and acquiring proof by every means), divided into two permanent sections, and prosecuting, by order of the Convention or directly, all those who were found guilty in any way of attempting to mislead the people. This was a sweeping clause, and the Girondins, under standing it as their death-warrant, rose en masse. Death, cried they, rather than submit to the establishment of this Venetian inquisition.
