1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Marr, J.
In January, 1852, Marcelin Scionneaux sold to Mrs. Priestly a tract of land, in the parish of St. James, having one arpent front on the river, by a depth of eighty arpents. The price was represented by two notes of the purchaser, each for two thousand dollars, payable, respectively, in the month of March, 1853 and 1854, the purchaser having the right to prolong the payment for ten years from maturity, on paying interest annually at eight per cent. This debt was secured by the vendor’s mortgage and privilege, reserved in the notarial act of sale.
