Summary
A legal document concerning the settlement by arbitration of a lawsuit brought by Jean Dubois, painter and chamberlain of the King, residing at Fontainebleau, but presently in Paris, and Marye Outrebon, his wife, against Guillaume Vuathier, bailiff of the court of Parliament, residing in rue Quincampoix, as guardian of the minor children of the late Anthoine Outrebon, musician in the King's concerts, and of his late third wife, Nicole Vuathier; said minors being the heirs of their late father and donnees of Anthoine Outrebon, canon of the collegiate church of St. Florent de Roye, their half-brother on their father's side. The settlement concluded by the two arbitrators, Gourillon the Elder and Edme Didier, imposed a penalty of 2000 livres on the "transgressor" (Vuatheir) half of this amount to be given to the Hospital of this city (Paris) and the other half to be paid to the "consenter" (Dubois) in three months from date, giving the delinquent party time for an appeal.
