George DesLondes and Pierre Cyprien Ricard, both free men of color, are the tutors of two minors named Marie Louise Ricard and Paulin Ricard, orphan children of the late Maximilien and Marie Louise Ricard. They present that another child of the late Maximilien and Marie Louise, a girl named Telcide, has no "legally appointed & qualified" tutor to administer her affairs. They further present that Marie Louise, Paulin and Telcide Ricard are the "sole surviving heirs" of their late parents and are thus "legally entitled by succession & legal inheritance" to all their parents' property, as well as to the property of their late maternal grandmother, Clotilde Valery Belly, wife of Augustin Borie. The petitioners claim that the debts attached to the estate, however, cannot be paid without the sale of a part or all of the property. They therefore pray for the appointment of a "tutor ad hoc" to represent Telcide Ricard and for a meeting of the children's relatives and friends to decide if a public sale should be made.
Result: Granted.
