1Opinion of the CourtPbovosty, J.
The present suit is a rule taken by the executrix of the succession of Perrault on the defendant in rule, the St. Landry Bealty Company, Limited, to show cause why this company should not accept title to a tract of land of 1,186 acres, adjudicated to it at the sale of the property of said succession.
