During the night of April 10, 1734, Montr al burned. Marie-Joseph Ang lique, a twenty-nine-year-old slave, was arrested, tried, and found guilty of starting the blaze that consumed forty-six buildings. Suspecting that she had not acted alone and angered that she had maintained her innocence, Ang lique's condemners tortured her after the trial. She confessed but named no accomplices. Before Ang lique was hanged, she was paraded through the city. Afterward, her corpse was burned. Ang lique, who had been born in Portugal, faded into the shadows of Canadian history, vaguely remembered as the alleged arsonist behind an early catastrophic fire.
