Peytavin v. Paloe
Peytavin v. Paloe
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court. This action was instituted on two promissory notes. The defendant pleaded the general issue and payment; there was judgment against him and he appealed.
He assigns as error, apparent on the record, that the plaintiff only demanded $640 with interest and costs in the petition, and that the court below condemned him to pay six hundred and forty six dollars with costs and interest.
But a recurrence to the petition shows this objection to be unfounded, for the plaintiff did not demand six hundred and forty dollars alone, but prayed that the defendant might be decreed to pay him this sum together with the expenses of protest.
The appellee complains there was error in
We consider the appeal as one evidently brought up for delay, and we do therefore order, adjudge and decree that the judgment of the district court be affirmed with damages at ten per cent on the amount of the debt, and that the appellant pay the costs of this appeal.
