Joachim, also known as Porche, is a free man of color who presents to the court that he is "desirous of rewarding" his thirty-three-year-old mulatto slave named Sanite for her "good services and fidelity." He declares that Sanite has never run away and has not been guilty of any crime for the last four years. He asks the court to "grant him leave to infranchise and set free" Sanite after he has fulfilled all the "requisite of the law" [A related petition establishes that Sanite was Joachim's wife].
Result: Granted.
