François Jean, a free man of color also known as François Jean Florentin, petitions to recover a debt from Henri Giron, also a free man of color. François Jean represents that, on the 13th of November 1837, Giron executed an obligation in the amount of “seventy dollars & seven bits & an half" in payment of a debt. François Jean contends that, although the debt has long been due and payment has been amicably demanded, Giron “refuses & neglects” to pay. François Jean therefore asks the court to condemn Giron to pay the debt with interest from “judicial” demand.
Result: Granted.
