Paul Martin, a landowner, asks the court to order posting of the emancipation notices required by the law to emancipate his forty-year-old female slave by the name of Prudence. Martin presents that he desires to free Prudence as a reward for her good behavior ["sa bonne conduite"] as well as to fulfill the obligation he contracted when he purchased her from her previous owner. He vouches that she has never tried to run away [Original in French].
Result: Granted.
