Julie Celeste Croizet, widow of the late Pierre Gondran, seeks to emancipate her sixty-six-year-old female mulatto slave named Victoire. Mrs. Gondran represents that she has obtained the consent of the police jury to proceed with the emancipation and has been dispensed from giving the bond required from owners to ensure that a freed slave will leave the state. In fact, Victoire has been authorized to remain in the state after emancipation. Julie Croizet Gondran therefore prays for an order directing the sheriff to post notices of her intention to free Victoire from the bonds of slavery. She also prays to be authorized to free her slave if no opposition is raised within the legal delays of forty days.
Result: Granted.
