Julien Amelin, a free man of color, asks the court to order the publications and notices required by law for the emancipation of his forty-two-year-old female slave and mother, Adelaide. He presents to the court that he had purchased Adelaide from her previous owner, Mrs. Marie Gervais, widow Larche, with the specific intent to emancipate her. He vouches that Adelaide has always kept a good conduct and has never tried to run away [Original in French].
Result: Granted.
