Legal opinion by Charles-René Gaudron de Chevremont, counsellor and judge, second interrogation on the criminal seat, 4 June 1734.

Having at length examined all The Evidence brought forth against The accused I find that the Said accused is sufficiently convicted and Guilty of setting fire to the house of dame widow francheville and causing the Burning of part of The city, for Reparation of Which my opinion is that she be condemned to make honourable amends, her hand severed, and Be thrown into the fire alive in the most Practical place in this city and previously tortured in the ordinary and extraordinary ways to Denounce her accomplices, and that judgment against the man named Thibault be delayed until the said accused has been tortured. Dated at montreal 4 June 1734.
