Lanoue v. Dumartrait
Lanoue v. Dumartrait
Opinion of the Court
Counsel agree that only two questions are presented in this case, to wit:
First — Is the plaintiff, a depositor, entitled to a privilege against the-depositary of funds deposited with and used by him 1 Second — Can the depositary plead, in compensation,, debts due by, or paid on account of the depositor, for any other purpose than the-preservation of the thing deposited ?
The defendant, not having appealed, the latter question, practically decided against him, can not be examined.
As to the first, the only privilege granted by law to the depositor, is a privilege “ on the price of the sale of the thing;by him; deposited.”'
Judgment affirmed.
