Extracts from various acts of sale made during the period
Scope and Contents
Includes copies of notarial acts involving the New Orleans municipal government. Many are acts of sale in 1810 for parcels of the former plantation of Claude Treme. Among the other acts is one for the sale by the city of the land for Charity Hospital, various documents concerning the College d'Orleans, and one pertaining to a grant by the King to aid in the reconstruction of the Cabildo by Almonester following the fire of 1794. Of special note, attached to documents involving the property of Henry Metzinger, is the original grant of land by Carondelet to Metzinger in 1796. There is a typewritten inventory of these various acts at the front of the volume; this inventory has some defects (poor translations, incorrect dates) but it should be of some use as a finding aid.
