Abstract
Jean Pierre Tounoir, a free man of color, petitions to emancipate his thirty-year-old daughter named Artimise and five-year-old grandson named Ursin. Tounoir explains that Artimise is his “natural” daughter, i.e., his daughter born out of wedlock. He represents that he has already obtained the consent of the police jury to proceed with the emancipation. He therefore prays that the court will order the sheriff to give notice of his intent to emancipate Artimise and Ursin, and to authorize their emancipation if no opposition is sustained.
Result: Granted.
