Broussard v. Dugas
Broussard v. Dugas
Opinion of the Court
The judgment of the court was pronounced by
The claims for which the appellant has obtained a judgment of separation of property against her husband being paraphernal, give her no privilege on his property to the prejudice of the seizing creditor whom she has enjoined. She has a tacit mortgage on the real estate and slaves of her husband; but improvements on the public lands are not real estate, and no mortgage attaches upon them; the injunction was therefore properly dissolved. jr*
It is therefore ordered, that the judgment in this case be amended so as to allow the appellant a legal mortgage on the real estate and slaves of Syphroien Dugas-, from the 25th day of July, 1838. It is further ordered, that the judgment as amended be affirmed; the costs of appeal to be paid by said Dugas.
