Opinion of the Court

In Re: Elsie Mae Braud, et al, applying - for Certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit, Nos. 12,573; 12,574; and 12,575, Parish of Terrebonne, 373 So.2d 1339.

Writ denied. While the rationale of the Court of Appeal may be incorrect, the result herein is correct.

TATE and DIXON, JJ., concur in the denial. The trial court correctly sustained the pleas of prescription; title cannot be acquired or lost by “estoppel.”
