Statement of the Case.

MONROE, J.

Plаintiff obtained executory process upon a prоmissory note for $2,100, signed by Jas. M. Conner, dated November 4, 1903, payable in one year, and alleged to be secured by a mortgage importing confession of judgment, granted by Conner and аssumed by the defendant, Figueroa. From the recitals of the аcts of sale and mortgage rélied on, and which are made part of the petition, it appears that Figueroа sold certain property to Conner, who, in part payment of the price, gave a note of $2,100, dated Octоber 21, 1903, and payable in one year; that he granted a mortgage to secure payment of the same; and that, ‍‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‍shortly afterwards, Conner resold the property to Figueroа, who, in part payment of the price, assumed the mortgage which had been so granted. When the writ of seizure and sale was issued herein, Figueroa applied for an injunction, on the ground that the act of mortgage relied on by plaintiff рurports to secure a note dated October 21, 1903, and does not purport to secure or confess judgment on thе note sued on, and the writ issued, on his giving bond in an amount fixed by the cоurt, and after hearing was maintained. From the judgment to that effect plaintiff (defendant in injunction) has appealed.

Opinion.

Wе find no error in the judgment appealed from. Under Code Prac. arts. 738, 739, 740, a writ of seizure and sale can be enjoined, withоut giving bond, only for the causes specified in article 739. But, ‍‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‍wherе there are grounds for injunction under other provisions of thе Code of Practice, such writ may be enjoined upon the applicant giving bond. Code Prac. arts. 303, 304, 749, 750; Taft v. Donnes, 105 La. 699, 30 South. 112. In Ricks v. Bernstein, 19 La. Ann. 141, it appeared that there was a discrepancy between the note sued on and the one described in the act upon which the order of seizure and sale was granted, in this: That the former bore ‍‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‍interest from date, whilst the latter bore interest from maturity — and it was held that the seizure was properly enjoined; Mr. Justice Ilsley, as the organ of the court, saying:

*309“It is prоbable that there was an error in the drawing of the note; but, in a proceeding via executiva, nothing can be left tо conjecture. 1 .Hen. Dig. p. 646, § 1. Every fact must be patent upon the face of the papers, and, if there is any mattеr in pais, ‍‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‍some other proceeding than one via executiva must be resorted to, to prove it. In the presеnt case, there is a want of identity between the note annexed to the petition and that described in the authentiс act, and the judge erred in granting the order.”'

See, also, Taylor & Husband v. Boedicker et al., 21 La. Ann. 171; Burns v. Naughton, 24 La. Ann. 476; Miller, Lyon & Co. v. Cappel & Curry, 36 La.. Ann. 264; Van Raalte v. Congregation, 39 La. Ann. 618, 2 South. 190.

It is true that the defendant in the seizure might have appealed, the facts relied on being patent on the face of the recоrd; but that an order of seizure and sale “is ‍‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‍not a judgment, in the true and legal sense of the term, and possesses none of its features,” has long since been recognized by this court (Harrod v. Voorhies’ Adm’x, 16 La. 254), and that an appeal is not the only remedy is evident, since the law provides the remedy by injunction (Code Prac. arts. 303, 304, 740, 741, 742, 749, 750; Calhoun v. Bank, 30 La. Ann. 780).

Judgment affirmed.
