First sentence: During the first year of the French Revolution, responsibility for political justice was largely shared by two institutions, the Paris Comite des Recherches, an investigatory and prosecutory agency which served as the capital's political police, and the Chatelet, an ancient royal court which held temporary authority over all lese-nation cases in France.
