Resumo: Ribeirão Preto, a municipality in western São Paulo, came to economic importance in the Brazilian Empire at a time when Brazil was producing more than half of the world’s coffee. Large coffee producers, such as Martinho Prado Júnior, made a fortune in that region, where much of the workforce consisted of migrants, immigrants and enslaved people (the latter coming from different parts of Brazil, especially the northern provinces). From 1883 onwards, Riberão Preto grew, as a result of the construction of the Mogiana Company’s railway, which transported a significant amount of coffee. Two years before the railroad was built, a conflict involving the freedwoman Dorothea and her former master, Antônio Beraldo d’Azevedo, took place in that region. What does this conflict still have to teach us today about the influence of the Free Womb Law on legal procedures and the struggle for freedom in the final years of slavery in Brazil? That is the subject of this article.

Grandes produtores de café, a exemplo de Martinho Prado Júnior, fizeram fortuna naquela região, que absorveu parcela considerável de mão de obra constituída por migrantes, imigrantes e escravizados, estes últimos oriundos de diversas partes do Brasil, sobretudo das províncias do norte. A partir de 1883, o município expandiu-se com a implantação da rede ferroviária da Companhia Mogiana, responsável pelo transporte de expressivas cargas de sacas de café. Dois anos antes da implantação dessa ferrovia, uma trama envolvendo a liberta Dorothea e o senhor Antônio Beraldo d’Azevedo teve lugar naquela região. O que essa trama teria ainda hoje a nos ensinar sobre a influência da Lei do Ventre Livre (Lei 2.040) nas formas processuais do direito e das lutas pela liberdade nos anos finais da escravidão no Brasil?
