No. 7605.
    Maria Harvey vs. Succession of C. J. Nicholson.
    A claim must be rejected when the testimony in support of it is not only intrinsically improbable but extrinsically is shewn to be unreliable, and when to believe it, every reasonable hypothesis must be disregarded.
    Nurse wages are prescribed by the lapse of one year.
    Appeal from the Second District Court of New Orleans. Tissot, J.
    
      Percy Roberts for Plaintiff. Singleton & Browne for Defendant Appellant.
    The claim was for wages as nurse under three contracts, covering the time from July, 1876, to January, 1879, and amounted to $5,065. The opinion reviews the testimony, and reduces the judgment of the lower court, which was for the whole claim, to four hundred dollars.
   White, J.,

rendered the opinion.
