Writ refused. Judgment not final.

McCALEB, J., concurs, being of the view that the claim in reconvention, even if prescribed, may be asserted as an offset to plaintiff’s demand, for a party may always employ a connected claim as a defense although he might otherwise he barred from recovery had he instituted the action.
