In 1789, before the assembly gathered in the church of Saint-Jacques-de-l'Hôpital, presided over by the old Charier, former prosecutor at Châtelet1, M. de Labussière supported an extravagant motion, according to which a deputation had to be sent to Versailles to the king asking him to “bring 12,000 troops into Paris in order to restore order there”.
This proposal had the expected result: Charles-Hippolyte Labussière was immediately hanged from the lantern by the furious assistants.
