DECREE of the Conseil of Martinique concerning the nègres marrons

Caribbean

The Island finding itself laid waste by enslaved fugitives, the Conseil resolved to negotiate with the man named Francisque, nègre of sieur Fabulet, and Chief of a large band. The conditions of this Treaty, drafted through the mediation of a nègre of sieur Renaudot, were that Francisque would have his freedom and a thousand livres of petun, and that no punishment would be inflicted on those of his Troop.
