Jean Soulié, a New Orleans landowner, asks the court to order posting of the emancipation notices required by the law to free his fifty-year old-slave, Rose. Jean Soulié cites Rose's good conduct and faithful work in his service as the reason for his decision to emancipate her; and she has never tried to run away. He also states that he had made the promise to free her when he purchased her from her previous owner, one Michel Fortier [Original in French; Docket in English].
Result: Granted.
