RAYMOND JOSEPH PAUL, comte de Segur d'Aguesseau (1803-1889), third son of Octave de Segur, took his mother's family name in addition to his own. He studied law at Aix and Paris. As procureur general of Amiens he gave in March 183o a decision on the question of the electoral lists which pleased the liberal party, but late in the year, as substitute in the royal court of Paris, he ordered the suppression of certain liberal journals, and in other civil appointments was accused of reactionary administration. He gave his adhesion to Prince Louis Napoleon, and became a member of the consultative commission in 1851, and of the senate in 1852. After the fall of the empire lie retired into private life.
