"A most curious family dispute brought before the Parlement de Normandie by the head of the family, himself a councillor of this court. It concerns a large family of Norman robins [magistrates] well known in this province. Thomas du Fossé, confronted with a singularly complex matrimonial adventure on the part of his eldest son, as well as, ultimately, with the legal upheavals linked to the first revolutionary reforms. A piece of great interest because of all its family, sociological and legal aspects" handwritten note by JM (with his bookplate). (Frère II, 481.)
