Zenon Victor, a free man of color, presents to the court that Eugène Ladner, also a free man of color, is indebted to him in the sum of $256. The debt arose from a thirty-day promissory note subscribed by Ladner to Victor in the amount of $100 and the purchase by Ladner of miscellaneous items worth $156. Victor claims that Ladner, who does not reside in Louisiana but owns property in the state, has consistently "refused and neglected" to pay the debt, and continues to do so. Victor therefore asks the court to issue a writ of attachment on the "moveable and unmoveable property, debts rights, and credits" belonging to Ladner in the jurisdiction of the court. He also asks that Ladner be condemned to pay the debt with interests and cost [Original in English and French].
