Admitted conseiller in 16o6, he was See also:president aux requeetes in Oro, procureur-general in See also:succession to See also:Nicolas de Bellievre in 1614, and he took See also:part in the See also:assembly of the Notables summoned at See also:Rouen in 1617

He fought in vain against the setting up of See also:special tribunals, or commissions, to try prisoners charged with See also:political offences, and for his persistence in the See also:case of the See also:brothers See also:- LOUIS

Hitherto Mole's relations with See also:Richelieu had been fairly See also:good, but his inclination to the doctrines of See also:Port Royal increased the See also:differences between them, and it was not until after Richelieu's See also:death that he was able to secure the See also:release of his friend, the See also:abbe de St Cyran

In 1641 he was appointed first president of the See also:parlement, with the preliminary See also:condition that he should not permit the general assembly of the See also:chambers except by See also:express See also:- ORDER

After Richelieu's death the pretensions of the parlement in-creased; the hereditary magistrature arrogated to itself the functions of the states-general, and in 1648 the parlement with the other See also:sovereign courts (the cour See also:des aides, the See also:grand conseil, and the cour des cornptes) met in one assembly and proposed for the royal See also:sanction twenty-seven articles, which amounted in substance to a new constitution
.
In the See also:long conflict between See also:Anne of See also:Austria and the parlement, Mole, without yielding the rights of the parlement, played a conciliatory part
.
In the popular tumult known as the See also:day of the barricades (Aug
.
26, 1648) he sought out See also:Mazarin and the See also:queen to demand the release of See also:Pierre Broussel and his colleagues, whose seizure had been the See also:original cause of the outbreak
.
Next day the parlement marched in procession to repeat Mole's demand
.
On their way back they were stopped by the See also:crowd

" Turn, traitor," said one of the rebels to Mole, seizing him by the See also:- BEARD (A.S. beard, O. H. and Mod. Ger. Bart, Dan. beard, Icel. bar, rim, edge, beak of a ship, &c., O.

beard, " and unless you wish to be massacred, either bring back Broussel, or bring Mazarin as a See also:hostage." Many magistrates fled; the remnant, headed by the intrepid mole, returned to the Palais Royal, where Anne of Austria was induced to release the prisoners
.
Mol'e's moderating counsels failed to prevent the outbreak of the first See also:Fronde, but he negotiated the See also:peace of See also:Rueil in 1651, and averted a conflict between the partisans of See also:Conde and of the See also:Cardinal de See also:Retz within the precincts of the Palais de See also:Justice
.
He refused honours and rewards for himself or his See also:family, but became keeper of the See also:seals, in which capacity he was compelled to follow the See also:court, and he therefore retired from the See also:presidency of the parlement
.
He died on the 3rd of See also:January 1656
