Maunsel White and François Gaiennié, Jr., syndics of the creditors of Pierre Léglise, charge that Léglise has concealed the ownership of three slaves. The slaves are now "detained" by Marie Louise, a free woman of color, who has been Léglise’s “concubine” for the last three years. White and Gaiennié ask the court to order Marie Louise to deliver the slaves and pay an appropriate amount in compensation for the hire of the slaves. They also ask that the slaves be sequestered until the case is resolved.
Result: Partly granted; dismissed.
