ORDINANCE of the Administrators, concerning the registration at the Greffe de l’Intendance of the receipts for Freedom taxes

Tiphaine, interim Greffier de l’Intendance, humbly petitions, and has the honor to set before you that he has just been informed that the receipts of the Receveur of the freedom taxes would in future be registered at the Greffe de l’Intendance, so that the Greffier may supply a statement of them when required. The Petitioner, for this purpose, is obliged to open a register, which he cannot do without being authorized by you, My Lords: this considered, My Lords, &c. Having seen this Petition, and everything considered: We, Commandant-Général and Intendant, order the Petitioner, in the capacity in which he acts, to keep a register, numbered and initialed by Us, and deposited at the Greffe de l’Intendance, in which to register the receipts for the freedom taxes that will be given by the Receveur of the taxes. For the registration of each, the parties will pay him a sum of 4 livres 10 sols; and our present Ordinance will be registered at the Greffe de l’Intendance, for reference when needed. GIVEN at Cap, &c. 22 May 1780. Signed, REYNAUD AND DE VAIVRE.
