Abstract

Jean Louis Astier, a free man of color, seeks to collect a debt from Louis Dussuau. According to Astier, Jacques Le Duf executed a promissory note promising “to pay to the order of Mr Louis Dussuau the sum of five hundred dollars for value received." Dussuau endorsed the note to one Louis Simon, who "before the said note became due," endorsed it to Astier. According to Astier, "Dussuau although often & amicably thereto required hath not paid ... the said five hundred dollars." Astier therefore asks the court to order the defendant to answer to the charges and pay the debt with interest.

Result: Granted.
