Abstract
Marie Louise, a free woman of color, represents that she is the "proprietor and owner" of a slave named Louise, whom she purchased according to a "regular act of sale passed before the proper authorities." Marie Louise further represents that Louise is "unlawfully detained and held" by one Edouard Cauchoix who, although "amicably demanded," has "wholly refused" to acknowledge her right to ownership. Marie Louise therefore prays for an order to "seize and sequester" her slave, and to deliver the slave to her.
Result: Granted; appealed; remanded.
