Dr. Benjamin M. Bullen asks permission to emancipate a woman named Juliette, a faithful slave who had belonged to his late friend, Colonel David Carradine. Bullen informs the court that Juliette is a "faithful" servant who nursed Carradine "during a long distressing and lingering illness." Carradine had owned Juliette until shortly before he died, when he sold her for $1 to Bullen and asked him to see to her emancipation. Juliette was twenty-four years of age and worked as a house servant. She should be freed, Bullen said, because of her "services, honesty and fidelity."
