LAVERDY, CLEMENT CHARLES FRANCOIS DE (1723-1793)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 293 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LAVERDY, CLEMENT CHARLES FRANCOIS DE (1723-1793) ,
French
  statesman, was a member of the parlement of Paris when the
case
  against the
Jesuits
  came before that
body
  in August 1761. He demanded the suppression of the order and thus acquired popularity. Louis XV. named him controller-general of the finances in December 1763, but the burden was
great
  and
Laverdy
  knew nothing of finance. Three months after his nomination he forbade anything of any
kind
  whatever to be printed concerning his administration, thus refusing advice as well as censure. He used all sorts of expedients, sometimes dishonest, to replenish the treasury, and was even accused of having himself profited from the commerce in wheat. A
court
  intrigue led to his sudden dismissal on the 1st of October 1768. Henceforward he lived in retirement until, during the Revolution, he was involved in the charges against the financiers of the old regime. The Revolutionary tribunal condemned him to death, and he was guillotined on the 24th of November
1793.
See A. Jobez, La France sous Louis X V (1869).
