26 La. Ann. 40 | La. | 1874
The plaintiff appeals from the judgment dissolving his injunclion restraining the executory proceedings of the defendant.
The ground for the injunction is, theie is a deficiency in the measure of the property bought by the plaintiff from the defendant, the price of which is secured by the mortgage sought to be enforced, and on account of this deficiency there should be a diminution of the price to the extent of $850. The property is described in the deed as follows:
“ The one-lialf of two certain squares of ground situate, lying and being in the city of Carrollton, in the parish of Jefferson in this State, and designated by the numbers fifty and fifty-one, on a plan made by Charles F. Zimpel, then a deputy surveyor of the United States,
From the description of the property we áre of the opinion that the sale was jper aversionem, reference to the plan and the streets hounding the squares controlling the expressions in regard to the measurement of the ground.
So, therefore, whether there he a deficiency of twenty-five feet in the measurement on Canal avenue or not, can not avail the plaintiff. Revised Code 2495; 14 La. 497. Besides, from the evidence, we are satisfied that the diminution complained of is not one-twentieth part of the totality of the objects sold.. Revised Code 2494.
Judgment affirmed.
