Broussard v. Robin
Broussard v. Robin
Opinion of the Court
In these cases the true subject matter is a rendition of account to the heirs, and a distribution among them of the remaining assets of the succession. In such a proceeding, the necessity that all the heirs should be in some form before the Court, seems obvious. The Administrator, upon filing his tableau, asked a citation of all the heirs, but was forced to trial before this had been accomplished, and to this ruling of the court he took a bill of excep
It is therefore decreed that the judgment of the District Court be reversed, and that the consolidated causes bo remanded for a new trial, and for further proceedings, according to law—the heirs, appellees, paying the costs of the appeals.
