A trial was established in favor of Leyrit by the complaining family against Lieutenant-General de Lally, accused of implacable hatred against his governor and betrayal of the interests of the king of the French state and the East India Company; the latter, as stipulated by the parliament's decree at the end of the work, was condemned to be beheaded at place de Grève.
