De Gaspe was to learn about it first hand. De Gaspe was fired as sheriff in 1822 because he kept "faulty ac- counts."' He left Quebec City to live at the seigneurial family home at' Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, a few miles up the St. Lawrence River. Times. for him were relatively tough, it seems. Ile was in deblor's prison from 1838 to 1841. It took a special Act of Parliament to effect his release. De Gaspe, despite debtor's prison, does not seem to have been totally impoverished. Following his release from prison, he spent his summers at Saint- Jean-Port-Joli_ and wintered at Quebec City.

Sulte, published in 1882. It's in the Public Archives of Canada. There are some other interesting facts about this stamp: It's printed on Rolland paper, a Canadian made coated- one-side paper for lithography, which may see the end of the im- ported papers from Harrison and Clark, excepl for future stamps printed through the engraving process.
