Martinez del Campo, the owner of a house occupied by the insolvents, was placed on the tableau of distribution as an ordinary creditor. He opposed the homologation on the ground that he should have been ranked as a privileged creditor. His opposition was unsuccessful, and he appealed.
In the beginning of April, 1852, the goods were removed from Del Campo's house, apd put on storage in another building. On the 29th May, Fa/rnet, one of the partners of Noll & Cuiraud, made a surrender, and the usual insolvent proceedings took place. The District Judge was of opinion that Del Campo had lost his privilege in permitting more than fifteen days to elapse, after the removal from the premises, without taking any action. In this opinion we concur. The 2675th Article of the Code gives the lessor a right of pledge on the movable effects of the lessee, which are found on the property leased. And Article 2679 enlarges the right in these words: “ In the exeicise of this right the lessor may seize the objects, which are subject to it, before the lessee takes them away, or within fifteen days after they are taken away, if they continue to be the property of the lessee, and can be identified.”
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
