The relator, having a judgment against the defendant for $93.70, levied a seizure on a remnant of a stock of merchandise, which the sheriff sold for $28.50. Thereafter, the sheriff proceeded by rule against relator to collect as costs $78.29, and to compel relator to pay the excess of $49.79. Among the items of cost claimed by the sheriff were two items which relator contested, being a charge of $52 for keepers’ fees, and a charge of $20 for rent of the building where the goods were kept. On trial of the rule, the district judge excluded the defendant’s evidence, and gave judgment for the full sum claimed by the sheriff. The matter being brought here on a writ, of certiorari, we set aside the judgment, and remanded the case for the hearing of evidence and the rendering of such judgment as the evidence would warrant. See Reiss Co. v. Spinnato, (La.) 97 South. 264.1 Having heard the evidence, the judge again gave judgment for the full amount claimed by the sheriff.

It was admitted on the trial that, on account of the-meagreness of the stock of goods seized, relator’s attorney instructed the sheriff not to appoint a keeper. The sheriff disobeyed the instruction because it was not in writing. In our former opinion we held that the verbal instruction was sufficient under the circumstances.

The sheriff admitted also, in his testimony, that the $20 claimed for rent was not .due to him, or for rent incurred after the seizure, but was supposed to be due to Spinnato’s landlord for rent incurred before the seizure was levied. The charge therefore cannot be taxed as costsl

The judgment complained of is annulled, and it is now ordered, adjudged and decreed that the relator recover of and from the sheriff the $22.21 balance held by him, and the'costs of these proceedings and of the rule to tax costs.
