The official report of the Jacobins claims that the petition obtained 40，215signatures. "The petition was first signed by about 200 clubbists， who pretended to be the people. . . They spread the report among the people that all who would not sign the address would be blacklisted or proscribed. That's why they had desks set up in all the public squares， and seized by the arm all who came， and forced them to sign.
As this approach did not prove fruitful they made children ten years of age， women， and ignorant rustics put down their name." They were told that the object was to put down the price of bread.
