Abstract
Marie Hubau Ricard, authorized by her husband Agricole Ricard, presents to the court that, as one of the heirs of the late Françoise Bienville, she became the owner "in her own right" of a tract of land measuring "two arpents front on the river Mississippi river with the usual depth of forty." She claims that a certain Charles Hubeau has taken "illegal and forcible" possession of the land and has, for the last two years, occupied it, cultivated it, and reaped its "fruits" without paying any rent. The Ricards, Françoise Bienville, and Charles Hubeau are free people of color. Marie Ricard prays that the title and rights of property to the land be decreed vested in her and that Hubeau be directed to give up possession of it. In addition, she asks that Hubeau be condemned to pay her two years' worth of rent at the rate of $100 per annum.
Result: Dismissed.
