MM. Duvernay et Tracey à la prison de Québec
|
| Abstract |
An account of the Irish-born Daniel Tracey's (1794-1832) and Ludger Duvernay's imprisonment in 1832 for their separately written editorials condemning Lower Canada's Legislative Council. Tracy was the editor of the Irish Vindicator and Canada General Advertiser (later the Vindicator and Canadian Advertiser), and Duvernay was the editor of La Minerve newspaper. Both were supporters of Louis Joseph Papineau and the Patriote movement. In 1832, Tracey was charged with libel and imprisoned for calling for the "total annihilation" of the Legislative Council because it had rejected certain bills passed by the House of Legislative Assembly. Duvernay met with the same fate for demanding the "abolition" of the Legislative Council. They were both kept in jail from January 17, 1832 until February 25, 1832.
