Tissott v. Bowles
Supreme Court of Louisiana
AMEAt FROM THE COT COOHT OE 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; but from the record it does not appear to have been signed by the judge. The defendant appealed.
1Opinion of the CourtMorphy, J.
The a-ppellant has submitted his case on one point, to wit: that there was no legal judgment below against him ; by *31turning 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 ; Code of Practice, 546; 7 La. Rep. 513, Wright vs. M'Nair et al.
It is therefore dismissed with costs.
