Opinion of the Court

The judgment of the court was pronounced by

Slidell, J.

If the share of Watts has been divested and has passed to the plaintiff, the fact should have been shown. The testimony is loose and unsatisfactory on the subject of rent. That matter will be open to examination when the parties come to a partition.
