The famous Goezman affair, which gripped the French and European public and the press of the time, began on July 17, 1770 with the death of financier Joseph Paris Duverney. The latter had made testamentary dispositions in favor of his associate Beaumarchais, which were soon strongly contested by the Count of La Blache, the financier's universal legatee. Although Beaumarchais won the first instance against La Blache in 1772, the case was taken up again in 1773 by Judge Goëzman, a renowned criminal lawyer. Several months of fast-paced proceedings followed, during which Beaumarchais published his satirical and highly virulent Mémoires against the judge and his entourage, which caused a scandal at court. The affair came to an end on February 26, 1774: the Parlement de Paris condemned Beaumarchais to a reprimand and a fine (the latter, stripped of his civic rights, would never rest until he regained the Court's favor), Beaumarchais' memoirs had to be torn up and burned, and Goëtzman resigned from his position.
