The appellee moves the dismissal of this appeal. The citation of appeal was served upon his counsel, the order having been granted at chambers. As the plaintiff was a resident of the State, the citation of appeal should have been served upon him in person, or by leaving it at the place of his usual domicil. C. P. 582 ; Sears, Administrator, v. Wilson, 4 An. 525 ; Ludeling v. Frellsen, ib. 534.

. But this defect is not, however, imputable to the appellants; and, under the. ruling in the case of Lewis v. Hennen, the only order which we could. render would be one for a continuance. At the same time, it is proper to notice *699that two of the appellees, James C. Weeks and E. B. Pittis, have not been cited on this appeal, although their names are inserted in the bond furnished by the appellants. Although more than one year has elapsed since the rendition of the judgment of the District Oourt, it is not too late to graut relief to the appellant. This point is expressly ruled in the case of Lewis v. Hennen, 13 An. 260.

It is, therefore, ordered and decreed, that this cause be continued until the first day of the next regular term of this court, in order that the appellees be cited to answer the appeal taken in this case.
