intendant

1 In the course of events he soon became involved in quarrels with the intendant touching questions of precedence, and with the ecclesiastics, one or two of whom ventured to criticize his proceedings.

2 Since the days of Richelieu, ministers of finance and their intendants and delegates had taken the exclusive charge of police of every kind, public works and plans, the economic and spiritual welfare of the people.

3 They were placed under the tutelage of the intendants, whose sanction, or that of the conseil du roi, was necessary for all acts of any importance.

4 “When Susanne and I got the job as intendants, we asked ourselves, ‘Where can we really improve?’

5 Jonquiére found his government permeated with dishonesty, the intendant Bigot having used his official position to fatten the purses of himself and friends.

6 The governor was a judicious and capable administrator; the intendant, a man of wide views, of singular discretion, and of indefatigable industry.

7 The bishop, M. de Saint Vallier, came to see him several times during his illness, as also did the intendant; death, not for the first time, was acting the part of reconciler.

8 I went towards him: "Shall I send the intendant for a priest?"

9 The bishop, supported by the intendant, endeavoured to suppress this trade and sent an ambassador to France to obtain remedial action.

10 The project was revived eleven years afterwards by de Meulles, a later intendant.

11 “We had a sold-out house, so the intendant of the theater called me that morning at 9 a.m. to ask me to play,” recalled the head of the theater’s music staff, Valeria Polunina.

12 The movement attracted even the ministers, Boulainvilliers at their head, who caused the intendants to make inquiry into the causes of this general ruin.

13 For a long time, he was a nearly homeless intendant, forced to focus his energies on programming in the neo-Baroque Laeiszhalle.

14 On the other hand the court does not seem to have taken Frontenac's accusations against the intendant seriously.

15 He turned away as soon as Death had done his work, and, mad for revenge, had sought the house of the intendant.

16 In contrast, he increased the power of the government agents called intendants, who collected taxes and administered justice.

17 Now, however, local governments within each of the viceroyalties were in the hands of governors, or intendants.

18 Unlike past intendants, however, Mr. Schulz will not stage operas for the company, which has just moved back to its historic home following a seven-year renovation.

19 He had brought up, however, from Poitou, his lord's intendant, and several others of his confidential servants and attendants, promising them, with the utmost conceit and self-confidence, to set the Count at liberty.

20 Those taking part in the conference, in addition to himself, were the intendant, the provost, and three Jesuit fathers, who had had long experience in mission work and knew the savage tribes thoroughly.
