1767-Jan.-24: Creditors of Sieur Nicolas Verrier, a baker in Cap-Français on Rue Espagnole, were summoned to a meeting to arrange for the payment of their claims. The assembly was scheduled for Monday at the office of Notary Me. Salleles on Rue S. Laurent. Such legal proceedings were common in the urban economy to manage debt and settle the financial affairs of local tradesmen. This record provides insight into the commercial instability that could affect even essential service providers in the colonial capital.
