 FRANCOIS RYBOT VS PIERRE JDUCALVET 
 
 15. DUCALVET, Pierre. Ccdlectiop. of legal documents relating 
 to a lawsuit by F rancis_Rybot against Pierre DuCalvet, dated 
 mostly at Montreal, 1783-1786. 12 p. folio, 1 p. 4to, generally 
 good condition. Texts in English. (1000) 
 
 Francis Rybot, a London merchant, was suing 
 Sigismund Dubuit. Dubuit had consigned goods to DuCalvet 
 to sell on his behalf. Although DuCalvet claimed to have 
 paid Dubuit, Rybot was suing DuCalvet for payment, as the 
 goods had originally belonged to Rybot. 
 
 Collection comprises: 
 
 1 . Ms account of merchandise consigned by Dubuit to Pierre 
 
 DuCalvet, signed by John Lees, Jr. , attorney for Rybot 
 dated Quebec July 3, 1783. 3 p. narrow folio. 
 
 2. Ms defendants reply by Pierre DuCalvet, signed by James 
 Walker, for the defendant, dated Montreal [ Nov. , 1783] 
 Docket annotation reads: "Filed 6th Nov. , 1783. . ." 1 p. 4to. 
 
 3. Ms plaintiff's request to summon Pierre DuCalvet, signed 
 by Arthur Davidson, dated Montreal Aug. 1 3, 1783, explaining 
 to the court why DuCalvet owed money to Rybot. Counter- 
 signed by John Southouse, Judge, granting that DuCalvet be 
 summoned. 4 p. folio, tattered at one edge with small tears 
 but no loss of text. 
 
 4. Ms plaintiff's account signed by Arthur Davidson, Rybot's 
 attorney, for the amount still unpaid, dated Common Pleas 
 Montreal, 21 Feb. , 1786. 
 
 5. Ms defendant's deposition, signed by James Walker, Du- 
 Calvet's lawyer, dated District of Montreal, Nov. 4, 1786. 
 
 3 p. folio. 
 
 Pierre DuCalvet, d. 1786, was a merchant and fur -trader 
 at Quebec. In 1775, he espoused the cause of the Americans 
 and was imprisoned by Haldimand for the remainder of the 
 war. In 1783, he went to London, where he published his 
 Appel 3. la Justice (1784). While returning to America in 
 1T86, he was lost at sea. Judging from the dates of the 
 above documents, it might be that DuCalvet was returning 
 in connection with this court case.
