Not all interdiction suits were successful. Marie Anne Fizelier, a spinster whose family tried to have her interdicted warded off the attack by requesting the appointment of a voluntary Counsel. The plaintiff claimed she was being manipulated by shady characters bent on ruining her. As appears from an official complaint he filed with the police, a copy of which is attached to his interdiction file, Nicolas Gobet convinced himself that mysterious enemies were spying on him with powerful optical instruments and were trying to kill him or make him sick using strange electrical machines. He wanted the government to stop these horrors.
Unhappy marriages are a common feature of many interdiction files.
Here is yet another one. Perhaps a little bit of both. Marguerite Talbot goes mad. She gets interdicted. She has her interdiction lifted.
