Palace of Justice (Port-au-Prince). The judgment against the Riviériste accused is rendered there.

“Rendered at the Palace of Justice, in the sitting of 28 September 1845, and so forth.” The advocates of the condemned sent to the commandant of the arrondissement, A. Souffrant, the application for review of this judgment, which was quashed by the council of review. The nine condemned remained in prison to be tried by another special military council, counting much, for their release, on the favor of fresh troubles. But they were sent before the special military council of Saint-Marc, which tried them, acquitted Brunet, Mabby, Cochy and Grand’Maison Pierson, and condemned the five others to three years of hard labor. (*) These five condemned to hard labor had no longer any hope save in the clemency of the President of Haiti or in some new revolutions. The factious, despite the bloody checks they had suffered, were not discouraged; they stirred up disorders in the commune of Saltrou, arrondissement of Jacmel, whither General Geffrard had to betake himself, leaving the command of the arrondissement of Jacmel provisionally to the general of brigade Marie Registre Ripert, who commanded the place.
