pp. 305-06, No. 177

No. 177. Francoise Ricard, widow of Francis Allain, claims a tract of land, situate on the river Mississippi, in the county of Pointe Coupée, containing eight hundred and ten and forty-four hundredths superficial arpents, and bounded on one side by land of the United States, and on the other by land of Madame Jarreau. It appears that the claimaint did actually inhabit and cultivate the land now claimed on the 20th of December, 1803, and that the same was continually inhabited and cultivated by her, or those under whom she claims, for more than ten consecutive years next preceding. Confirmed.
