Victoria Le Sassier seeks to strengthen her bill pending in court in which she petitioned for a divorce from her husband, Pedro de Alba, and requested the right to control her separate property. In this amended petition, Le Sassier points out that "by the laws of the Spanish Monarchy subsisting and in force in the Province of West Florida," she was entitled to her separate property. She points out that her rights "had in no wise been changed by the transfer of the Province to the United States but said property was secured by the treaty of Cession." Le Sassier asserts that her husband abandoned her and has contributed little to her support and maintenance and is "bound in law to provide alimony.''
