Article 29

Des Actes de Naissance

Civil Administration
Titre III: Des Actes de l'État civil (On Civil Status Records)
Chapitre II: Des Actes de Naissance (On Birth Records)

Les propriétaires, fermiers, gérans ou chefs d'un établissement ou manufacture quelconque, sont tenus, sous leur responsabilité individuelle, de tenir la main à l'exécution de l'article précédent.

Life lesson: Authority over others carries the duty to ensure their rights are honored. The one who commands the labor must also protect the life.
Notes: Places birth-registration enforcement responsibility on property owners and employers — a critical provision in a post-plantation economy where many births occurred on estates. Individual liability, not collective.
