The court perpetuated the injunction, and the defendant, Bidwell, has appealed. The facts disclosed in the record show a legitimate cause for the transfer from the husband to his wife under article 2421 C. C., it appearing that the former was indebted to the latter on account of paraphernal property in a sum exceeding the value of the property conveyed to her by the act of giving in payment.

It is therefore ordered that the judgment appealed from be affirmed with costs.
