Keith v. City of New Orleans

Opinion of the Court

Buchanan, J.

The obligation of defendant bore interest upon its face, from date. It was not necessary, therefore, for a protest in order to make it carry interest, C. C. 1931.

The city advertised on the 28th of August, 1852, that it was ready to pay all obligations ; and that it would resist the payment of interest after that date. But there is no proof, nor even allegation, that this advertisement came to the knowledge of plaintiff.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
