Abstract
Francisco Sola presents to the police jury that he is the owner of a four-year-old male slave named Paul, whom he wishes to emancipate in recognition of the services rendered to him by the young boy's mother. Sola further presents that he is "disposed to give security" that the boy will be "properly educated and enabled to gain a livelihood," and he will be "taught the respect he owes to white people." Sola therefore asks the police jury to authorize him to emancipate Paul without the latter having to leave the state.
Result: Granted.
