1Opinion of the CourtSt. Paul, J.

In Hanton v. N. O. & C. Ry. L. P. Co., 124 La. 562, 50 So. 544, this court said (page 583 [50 So. 552]):

“The burden rests on an appellant to show, to the satisfaction of this court, that the judgment of which he complains is erroneous.”

And that burden is not discharged, in a case involving only a question of fact, by the appellant merely pointing out that the evidence is conflicting and that the trial judge or the jury might, on such conflicting evidence, have reached a different conclusion. Winn v. Strickland, 151 La. 235, 91 So. 719; Wall v. Dudley, 152 La. 911, 94 So. 441.
