Ruddock Cypress Co. v. Peyret
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Action by the Ruddock Cypress Company, Limited, against Jean Peyret. Judgment for plaintiff was affirmed by the Court of Appeal, and defendant applies for certiorari or writ of review.
1Opinion of the CourtProvosty, J.
This case is before us on writ of review to the Court of Appeal. It is a petitory action. Both parties trace their title to the state. Several links in the chain of plaintiff’s title were sought to be established by copies made by the clerk of court (ex officio recorder) from the conveyance book in his office. The book is a copy of the original acts, and, as a matter of course, the copies from it are the copies of copies. Their admission in evidence was objected to on that ground, and a bill of exception was duly reserved to the ruling of the ^ourt admitting them.
The objection was again urged…
