Brief Summary:
Contemporary copy of documents by Marie-Louise Denis nominating Joseph-Marie Balleydier as procurator of Ferney, dated 17 November 1762, and dismissing Balleydier as procurator of Ferney on 29 December 1773.
Detailed Summary:
Marie-Louise Denis nominates Joseph-Marie Balledier as the Prosecutor of Ferney for an annual wage of 100₶. This is followed by the dismissal of Balleydier on 29 December 1773. Here it is noted that Balleydier was offered 56₶ 16c for the month of August 1773 which he refused to accept. This money, along with an additional 200₶, was deposited with Jean-Louis Raynaud until the affairs were settled. As Balleydier neglected the affairs and wrote insulting letter, Marie-Louise Denis dismisses him, adding that he will not be payed his wages for the past two years as he never presented himself in Ferney during that time except for at assizes for which he was paid additional sums. The remainder of the document concerns the settlement of the dispute between the two parties. The document is bound with a letter from Marie-Louise Denis to Marc Duval, written in the hand of Wagnière from Ferney and dating to c.16 January 1774.
