Irene Lamorandier requests a separation of property from her husband, Celestin Morel de Guiramand. Irene intermarried with Morel de Guiramand in 1838, bringing with her a dowry of a sixteen-year-old slave named Marie Louise and $500. Since the marriage, Celestin de Guiramand has "appropriated" the $500 "to his own use" and he has "disposed of" it in order to satisfy his personal debts. Irene prays for a separation of property and asks to be "permitted to administer the same hereafter free from" her husband's control. In addition, she prays for $1,300 in damages.
