delivered the opinion of the court.
This action is brought by the payee of a promissory note against the maker. The answer admits the defendant’s signature, but sets up a claim in re-convention for a larger sum than the amount of the note, and demands judgment for the balance. There was below a nonsuit as regards the plea in reconvention, and judgment in favor of plaintiff on the principal demand. The defendant appealed.
The judgment of the parish court is therefore affirmed, with costs.
