Concluded at the Hague, on the 15th of May, at noon, 1795. Procès Verbal of the Opening of the Body of the Son of the deceased Louis Capet. The Tower of the Temple, this 21ft Prairial (9th June,) in the third year of the French republic, one and indivifible. Half paft eleven o'clock in the morning. We the undersigned, Jean Baptifte-Eugene Dumangin, phyfician in chief of the hospital of Unity, and Philippe Jean Pelletan, furgeon in chief of the great hofpital of humanity, accompanied by the citizens, Nicolas Jeanroy, formerly profeffor in the fchools of phy fic of Paris, and Pierre Laffus, profeffor of phyfic in the fchool of health at Paris, declare, that we affembled in confequence of an arret of the committee of general fafety of the national convention, dated yesterday, and figned Bergoing, prefident, Coutois, Gautier, Pierre Guyomar, directing us to affift together in the opening of the body of the fon of the deceafed Louis Capet, and to declare the condition in which we have found it, have acted as follows; We arrived at eleven in the morning at the outward gate of the Temple, and were received by commiflaries, who introduced us into the tower; we were conveyed to the fecond ftory, and were fhewn into an apartment where we found lying on a bed the dead body of an infant, who appeared to us to have been about ten years of age, which body the commiffaries declared to be the body of the fon of the deceafed Capet, and which two of us knew to be that of the infant who had been ill for feveral days. The faid commiffaries declared to us, that the infant died on the preceding evening at three o'clock, upon which we proceeded to verify the figns of death, which we found characterized by an univerfal paienefs, a coldness of the whole body, a ftiffness of the members, a dulnefs of the eyes, violet coloured fpots on the fkin of the body, and particularly by a putrefraction, which had begun at the belly, the fcrotum, and within-fide the thighs. We remarked, before we proceeded ceeded to the opening of the body, a general leannefs, which proceeds from a marafmus; the belly was fwelled; in the infide of the right knee we remarked a fwelling, which had not changed the colour of the fkin, and another fwelling not fo large, on the os radius, near the right wrift. The fwelling of the knee contained about two ounces of a greyish coloured matter, pure and clean, fituated between the periofteum and the mufcles; the fwelling of the wrift contained matter of the fame kind, but thin ner. On opening the body, a pint of purulent ferum flowed out, yellow and extremely fetid; the inteftines were pale, and adhered together, as well as to the partitions of that cavity; they were fprinkled with a great quantity of pimples of different fizes, each of which contained the fame matter that was found in the fwellings of the knees and feet. The intestines, which we opened, were internally very found, and contained a very small quantity of bilious matter. 'The ftomach was in the fame ftate; it adhered to all the furrounding parts, was pale on the outfide, and fprinkled with lymphatic pimples fimilar to thofe on the furface of the inteftines.-The internal mem brane was found, as well as the pylorous or lower orifice of the ftomach, and the cofophagus, or windpipe; the liver adhered by its convexity to the diaphragma, and by its concavity to the vifcera which it covered. Its fubftance was found; its fize not larger than common. The gall-bladder was moderately filled with a bile of a greenish colour. The fpleen, the pancreas, the reins, and the bladder were found. The epiploon and the mefentery, not fat, were covered with lymphatic pimples, like thofe of which we have already fpoken. Similar tumours were difperfed over the peritoneum, and the interior of the diaphragma: this muscle found." was The lungs adhered to the pleura, to the diaphragma, and to the pericardium, found in substance, and without any pimples: there were a few only near the trachean artery and the oefophagus; the pericardium contained the ufual quantity of ferum; the heart was pale, but in its natural state. The brain, and its dependent parts, were in a perfectly good condition. All the diforders, of which we have given a detail, are evidently the effect of a fcrophulous habit, of a long standing, to which we decidedly attribute the death of the infant. The prefent procès verbal has been drawn up at Paris by the underfigned, at half paft four o'clock, on the day above mentioned. Signed by us, P. J. PELLETAN, |
