Villars Dubreuil had tried to prove false an act he had signed acknowledging a debt of 28,000 livres. The obligation in realty consisted of two notes, one for 4,000 livres signed seven years before and the other a recent letter of exchange for 24,000 livres. Villemont attested that the document had been drawn up before a notary, witnessed by M. de Lafréniére, and registered in the office of the Attorney General.
