Very rare. The leases for the Compagnie des Indes, including the 'Domaines d'Occident', are assigned, for nine years, to Armand Pillovoine. The collection of taxes is transferred from A. Lambert and his Attorneys and subjected to the aforementioned Pillovoine. The "Fermes des Domaines d'Occident" collected dues within French possessions in North America, including taxes on wine, spirits, and tobacco in Canada and "Nouvelle France".
Finally, the certificate of guarantee from Nicolas de Launay 'Escuyer Conseiller Secretaire du Roy, Maison Couronne de France et de ses Finances.'
