Appeal from Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans; John St. Paul, Judge. Action by Mrs. H. I-I. Clark, wife of S. W. Clark, against John T. Whitaker. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtBreaux, C. J.
Plaintiff, wife of Stephen W. Clark, Sr., sued for the return to her of a promissory note for $4,500, secured by vendor’s privilege.
It appears that her father had large means; years ago, a few days before her marriage, her father and mother made her an antenuptial donation, consisting of a promissory note, which was paid by the mother after the father’s death, by investing the amount of the note in buying for plaintiff a home.
This investment was made in compliance with the advice of the father of plaintiff, which was that she should buy a home, and not part with it under any circumstances.
