Overview
A Nice newspaper. Its history and politics are not researched here; this entry records only what the diary says.
Relevance to Marie
In November 1878 it printed a «correspondance de Versailles» about Paul de Cassagnac's new wife, Julia Acard, for which Cassagnac was said to have brought a suit; Marie had the number sent to her and found the piece «une horreur mais une horreur possible vu le physique de l'étrange Juliette» (083.0199). The next day, after the article, she wondered whether she herself «était femme» (083.0206).
The libel case was judged in December 1878: several papers were convicted of spreading a false report of a civil suit brought by Cassagnac against his wife (judgment of the 8e Chambre correctionnelle as printed in Le Figaro, 28 December 1878, quoted in the edition's footnote, 083.0524). Le Patriote niçois lodged an opposition to the judgment, saying it hoped to prove its good faith (083.0523).
