ted by the last will and testament of the late Judge
James Workman, of this city, the same who left a legacy of
ten thousand dollars to the American Colonization Society.
Judge Workman's will contains the following clause in
relation to her, viz:--"I request my statu liber, Kitty, a
quarteroon girl, to be set free as soon as convenient. And I
request my executors may send her, as she shall prefer, and
they think best, either to the Colonization Society at
Norfolk, to be sent to Liberia or to Hayti; and if she prefer
remaining in Louisiana, that they may endeavor to have an act
passed for her emancipation; if the same cannot be attained
otherwise; and it is my will that the sum of three hundred
dollars be paid to her after she shall be capable of
receiving the same. I request my executors to hold in their
hands money for this purpose. I particularly request my
friend John G. Greene to take charge of this girl, and do the
best for her that he can." Mr. Greene provided her with a
handsome outfit, carefully attended to her embarkation, and
the shipment of her freight, and placed her under the care of
the Rev. Gloster Simpson.

outfit and give them a start in the colony.

slaves belonging to the estate of the late James Green, of
Adams county, Mississipi. The following interesting
circumstances concerning their liberation, were communicated

executor of Mr. Green's Estate. Mr. Green died on the 15th of
May, 1832, the proprietor of about 130 slaves, and left Mr.
Railey, his brother-in-law, and his sisters, Mrs. Railey and
Mrs. Wood, executors of his last will and testament. Mr.
Green's will provides for the unconditional emancipation of
but one of his slaves--a faithful and intelligent man named
Granger, whom Mr. Green had raised and taught to read, write,
and keep accounts. He acted as foreman for his master for
