Tissott v. Bowles
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from the city court of New Orleans. This is an action against the maker of a promissory note. The defendant admitted his signature but averred the consideration had wholly failed. There was no attempt to support the defence by proof, and judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiffs; hut from the record it does not appear to have been signed by the judge.
1Opinion of the CourtMobpht, J.
The appellant has submitted his case on one point, to wit, that there was [31] no legal judgment below against him; by turning to the record, the judgment, appealed from, does not appear to have been signed. If such be the fact the only legal consequence, which flows from it, is that this appeal must be dismissed. Oode of Practice, 546; Wright v. McNair & al. 7 La. Rep. 513.
It is therefore dismissed with costs.
