Hérard Dumesle born at Torbeck

Haitian

Hérard Dumesle, a famous tribune, was also born there on 16 June 1784. He was expelled from the Chamber on 14 August 1833. He represented the commune of the Cayes. He reappeared in the Chamber in 1839 and presided over it, and contributed powerfully to the overthrow of the government of President Boyer. The town of the Cayes awarded him a gold medal for his fine conduct in the Chamber.

Rouzier tells this under the entry TORBECK.
