Marsh v. Sevin
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Marsh v. Sevin, 28 La. Ann. 326 (La. 1876)
Morgan
Marsh v. Sevin
Opinion of the Court
This is a petitory action. Plaintiff claims the property in
In Louisiana this is no title. In a petitory action the plaintiff must recover entirely upon the strength of his own title, and not upon the weakness of his adversary’s, and as the plaintiff here has shown no title she must suffer nonsuit.
It is therefore ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the judgment of the district court be avoided, annulled, and reversed, and that there be judgment in favor of the defendant as in case of nonsuit, plaintiff to pay costs in both courts.
Rehearing refused.
