Abstract
Etienne Deynan presents to the police jury that he is the "legal owner" of a six-year-old male mulatto boy named Louis Ulgère. He further presents that he had Louis Ulgère baptized "as free," the act of baptism having been performed before and signed by two witnesses. Louis Ulgère, a "statu liber" by virtue of the act of baptism, is now an orphan and Etienne Deynan is "desirous" to grant him "definitive freedom" on account of his late mother's "long faithful and important services." Deynan therefore asks the police jury to emancipate Louis Ulgère, without compelling him to leave the state.
Result: Granted.
