The latter， to the number of fifty or sixty， in jackets with leather straps， fell upon all whom they did not like， and especially on anybody with a clean shirt and white cravat. Many persons on the "Cours" were thus whipped to death. No women went out-doors without a basked， while every man wore a jacket， without which they were taken for aristocrats.

(Orders of Fréron， Barras， Salicetti， and Ricard， Niv？se 17， year II.) "The name of Marseilles， still borne by this criminal city， shall be changed. The National Convention shall be requested to give it another name. Meanwhile it shall remain nameless and be thus known." In effect， in several subsequent documents， Marseilles is called the nameless commune.

The members of the same committee， renewed on the 11th of September， obtain from fifty-two to one hundred and eight votes.
