Broussard v. Guidry
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Seventeenth Judicial District Court, Parish of Vermillion; Wm. Pierrepont Edwards, Judge. Action by Eloi Broussard and another against Scholastic Guidry and others. Judgment for defendants, and plaintiffs appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtBreaux, C. J.
The purpose of this suit is to have the boundary line between plaintiffs’ estate and defendant’s settled and determined.
There is no question of title.
Originally, these estates formed part of a large tract which has since been subdivided. It now belongs to different owners.
The contention on the part of plaintiffs is that the lines between the two estates have never been determined and fixed, or, if ever fixed, that the lines have become obliterated.
Plaintiffs claim that they and their authors had been in possession of the land, the boundary of which they seek to have fixed, since many years.
