Did François Poulin die in the fire ? Why does the judgment say "late François Poulin de Francheville" ? Did he survive the fire but die before her judgment ? Jay 04:57, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

A public ceremony that involved her disgrace -- what does that mean? Either "humiliation", or something more precise. 161.114.228.151

Humiliation. 'disgrace' has been replaced by a description, thanks to User:Rmhermen Jay 17:14, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

1. What does this line mean ?

"As for all death sentences, she was previously tortured"

It should read "As in all", meaning everyone sentenced to death was tortured.

2. "The Conseil Supérieur (Court of Appeal) reduced her sentence." In what way was the sentence reduced ? Jay 16:05, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC) She was not to be put in garbage cart, she was not to carry a sign "arsonist"; she was not to have her hand cut off; she was not to be burnt alive.

[edit] Content

The last edits changed much of the content (and killed all links). Is that justified or POV? Can't say I know the story very well.--Euniana 12:26, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I was just browsing the internet to find something about my birthday, which is june 21.st. It's sad to find a tragic story like this one related to the day you celebrated your hole life unencumbered. My thoughts will be with Marie-Joseph on that day.

[edit] "service her master"

To me, especially since it comes after her "duty" to have children with other slaves, this means she was expected to have sex with him. I don't know what the conventions were in 18th-century Canada, but is this really what was meant? If not, it should be changed to "serve her master". PeteVerdon 10:49, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Set

Is the following sentence in the third paragraph missing the word "set" between "allegedly" & "devastated"?

"She was immediately arrested, but not before the fire she allegedly devastated much of Montreal,"
