According to oral tradition James Murray, officer in the British army, is said to have sat at this table several times. After the capitulation of Quebec City in 1759, Murray was given the mandate to protect the city, still under the threat of a French attack. His military council began meeting at the Ursuline Monastery in Quebec City, which was still intact despite the bombings.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1763 Murray set up a court of law at the monastery to judge a well-known figure in Quebec City, Marie-Josephte Corriveau, nicknamed \u201cla Corriveau.\u201d Tradition has it that Corriveau\u2019s sentence\u2014declared guilty and condemned to death\u2014was signed at this table.
