2 La. Ann. 594 | La. | 1847
The judgment of the'court was pronounced by-
The only, question presented by the appellant, Amis, for our consideration is, whether a sum of $2,500 received'by the defendants, was paid-by the appellant for the accommodation.of- Tlleophilus Freeman, their debtor, • or- by Freeman’Jíimaélf. The"judge of the court below being of opinion that-the evidence did not satisfactorily show its payment to have been made by. the' plaintiff, gave the defendants the benefit of-his doubts, and dismissed the cláim.
A careful perusal of the evidence has satisfied us of the correctness of the’ judgment. The plaintiff did not-substantiate his allegations, and: the legal pre-sumption is that the payment was made by the party bound.
The appellant further complains that, Ke was adjudged-to pay half of the costs-in the court below, although he partially succeeded. He should have applied to-that court to correct the error, if it be one; and as he neglected to do so, it is not a sufficient ground for the reversal of the judgment. Grailhe v. Hown, 1 Annual Rep. 140.
