Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how notaire appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Le notaire certifiant que les testatrices ont voulu faire une disposition en sa faveur, il n’y a de prouvé que sa faute ; et sa responsabilité en est la conséquence. Si les testatrices devaient savoir qu’elles étaient ses créancières, devait-il ignorer qu’il était leur débiteur ?
Ce notaire n’était pas le petit notaire de Sterne, mais un gros et gras notaire de Paris, un de ces hommes estimables qui font une sottise avec mesure, mettent lourdement le pied sur une plaie inconnue, et demandent pourquoi l'on se plaint.
