Abstract
James H. Peck is the court-appointed attorney for Pelagie [Pelage], a woman of color currently suing for her freedom. Peck charges that François Vallois, defendant in the pending case, has sold Pelagie against the order of the court. Vallois sold Pelagie to John Cabanné [Cabanna], who is currently shipping her to New Orleans to be sold beyond the jurisdiction of the court. The petitioner asks that Vallois and Cabanné "shew cause why an attachment should not issue against them for a contempt of Court." A related document reveals that Pelagie was born the slave of Antoine Saulard.
