Report/ratio of Courteous Edme-Bonaventure: The section of Gravilliers acted very well. Its armed force went the first on the den of the conspirators. The revolutionary Committee did not balance a moment to be adopted Convention. The civil Committee followed in its walk a tortuous road. Two of its police chiefs by their signatures took part in the movements of the rebels and retracted only conditionally this signature at the time of their return to the section.
