RARE! “lieutenant criminel" Charles-Simon Bachois de Villefo Hand Written Letter

Description: Up for auction "lieutenant criminel" Charles-Simon Bachois de Villefo Hand Written Letter (Untranslated French) Dated 1782. ES-4687 As lieutenant criminel at the Châtelet, Charles-Simon Bachois de Villefort conducted investigations for criminal cases, but his decision to refer the case to Parlement did not necessarily reflect a belief that Shaffer was innocent or Shaffer’s lawyer’s contention that this was a civil case (Lombard’s letter of Sept. 23, below). Although the Châtelet, a presidial court, had jurisdiction over all cases involving documents prepared by its notaries, as was true here, it was limited to cases involving amounts up to 2,000 livres; cases involving greater amounts, and appeals of judgments handed down by the Châtelet, were referred to the parlement: Roland E. Mousnier, The Institutions of France under the Absolute Monarchy 1598–1789 (trans. Arthur Gold-hammer, 2 vols., Chicago and London, 1979–1984), ii, 263, 265, 272–3; Marcel Marion, Dictionnaire des institutions de la France aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles (Paris, 1923; reprinted, New York, 1968), p. 335. Bachois de Villefort is listed in the Almanach royal for 1781 on p. 387.
