| | Newspaper Accounts of the Trial a General Jean Baptiste Drouot: 18 August 1815 - 12 April 1816 |
 | | The examinations of General Drouot, taken in the prison of the Abbaye, and two editions of a proclamation, countersigned Drouot, the first published in the Moniteur of March 21, 1815, and the second printed as a placard, and differing in some respects from the former, were then read. |
 | | General Drouot, with his eyes suffused with tears, and so affected as to be, for the moment, deprived of utterance, obtained, through the medium of M.Girod, permission to reply in writing. |
 | | As soon as the King learned the acquittal of General Drouot, his Majesty declared that it was not his wish that the public prosecutor should enter an appeal for the revision of the judgement. |
