The judgment appealed from is not signed by the Judge. The record shows that it was entered on the minutes of the Court on the 21st of June, 1852; and that a motion for a new trial was made by the plaintiff. Beyond this, the evidence leaves us to conjecture. It appears afterwards, on the 20th of October, 1852, that the plaintiff’s death was suggested by his counsel, on whose motion the Court appointed a curator ad hoc to prosecute this suit to final judgment. The curator ad hoc thus appointed, presented a petition to the Judge a quo, and obtained the order for this appeal.
The cases in which curators ad hoc may be appointed by Courts to represent parties in suits, are enumerated and specially provided for by law. Tfe are not
There is another objection which we consider equally fatal to the appeal. It has been repeatedly held by our predecessors, that, under the 546th Article of the Code of Practice, no appeal lies from a judgment before it is signed. We are, therefore, of opinion, that the dismissal of the appeal in this case is unavoidable.
It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the appeal in this case be dismissed at the appellant’s costs.
