Henry Peronneau v. Executors of Motte
Henry Peronneau, assistant treasurer, succeeded Jacob Motte as public treasurer. No papers have been found for this suit, but it probably was connected with the advance of £10,goo by Motte on order of the Commons House to the celebrated Wilkes fund. The Council refused to approve a bill which would have reimbursed Motte’s estate, and Peronneau may have been trying to balance his books by a suit against Motte’s executors. See W. R. Smith, S. C. as a Royal Province, p. 369 II.

Opinion:
Ordered that the Defendants do answer the Complainant's Bill of Complaint in this Cause in Eight Days after the Service of this Rule, otherwise an Attachment will issue against them.
