338.10.9

With the above petition and all the papers in its support the brothers of Madras sent one of their number to Pondicherry, becoming sureties for his expenses. He was to plead their cause there. As his protector and their procurator, they elected the Very Reverend Father Joaõ Baptista Sidotte, a person among those who accompanied his Excellency, and one of much influence. He worked fairly well in the negociation, and had almost succeeded in it, according to the advices received from Pondicherry. He proposed an amicable compromise between the two confraternities for the greater praise of the Virgin and contentment of the brethren. But where selfwill reigns reason has no esteem.
