4 Rob. 399 | La. | 1843
This suit is brought for the balance of the price' of houses built for the defendant, according to a contract, and for extra work. The defendant pleaded the general issue, but admitted, that she was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of $963, and claimed damages, in reconvention, for the plaintiff’s delay in delivering the houses ; fof his failing to put eleven sets of window shutters to the houses ; and for neglecting to make a fence of one hundred feet in length, and to paint the houses in a workmanlike manner. In a supplemental answer, the defendant claimed in compensation a sum which she had been compelled to pay for the plaintiff, since her original answer. The court sustained the plaintiff’s claim for $1031 04-|, disallowed the defendant’s claim
It is therefore ordered and decreed, that the judgment be annulled and reversed, and that the plaintiff recover, from the defendant, the sum of $845 04-| with legal interest from judicial demand until paid, and with costs in the Parish Court, and that he pay those of this appeal.
