Supreme Court of Louisiana, 1840

Rost v. Byrne

Rost v. Byrne
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided February 15, 1840 · Bullard
14 La. 372

Rost v. Byrne

Opinion of the Court

Bullard, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This is an action against the drawer and endorsers of a promissory note. The drawer alone has appealed from a judgment rendered against him. He had pleaded the general issue and compensation. This, in our opinion, was an admission of the plaintiff’s title to the note as endorsee. The appeal was evidently taken for delay.

i The judgment of the District Court is, therefore, affirmed, with costs, and ten per cent, damages.
