1Opinion of the CourtSommerville, J.
Plaintiff, as the heir-of his brother and of his grandfather, Samuel Gerrold, claims the ownership of one-fifth of certain land in the parish of Caddo, now in the possession of defendants.
The claim of plaintiff is resisted by pleas
of prescription of 5, 10, and 30 years. Defendants implead their vendors as warrantors of their titles, and ask for reimbursement of taxes paid by them, in the event of their eviction.
There was judgment in favor of plaintiff and against defendants, and in favor of defendants over and against their warrantors, from which judgment appeals have been taken.
