Jean Baptiste Beauvais, Antoine Beavais, Edmond Ozenne, and Ursin Ozenne acknowledged that they had in their possession a number of slave children, who belonged to Labarthe Delisle and who had been surrendered by him to his creditors in Saint Tammany Parish. The signers declared that they would deliver the slaves when called upon to do so by Delisle's syndics, Elijah Clark and Samuel James.
