   Mobpht, J.

delivered the opinion of the court.

The appellant has submitted his case on one point, to wit, that there was [31] no legal judgment below against him; by turning to the record, the judgment, appealed from, does not appear to have been signed. If such be the fact the only legal consequence, which flows from it, is that this appeal must be dismissed. Oode of Practice, 546; Wright v. McNair & al. 7 La. Rep. 513.

It is therefore dismissed with costs.
