Dufour & Co. v. Meffre

Opinion of the Court

Simon, J.

delivered the opinion of the court.

The facts of this case as admitted by both parties, show that the plaintiffs are clearly entitled to a judgment for the amount sued for. They seek. *722to recover the balance of a debt formerly due by the commercial firm of Pareé & Meffré, to Dufour fréres. Pareé having failed after the dissolution of the partnership, the debt was carried on his schedule, and a part of it was paid by his insolvent estate, for which credit is allowed in the petition. The signatures to the notes sued on are admitted; and it is also admitted that the plaintiffs are the liquidating partners of the firm of Defour fréres. No defence whatever is set up; and the exceptions originally filed by the defendant seem to have been abandoned by the subsequent proceedings; and the material ones cured by the admissions.

No reason has been shown and we are unable to discover any, why the judgment of the court below should be disturbed.

[582] It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the parish court be affirmed, with costs.
