Maria Kelly and Husband v. C. A. Lehman et al.
    Where a judgment was rendered for a certain sum of money, and, also, for the delivery of a note— Meld: That the suspensive appeal bond must be sufficient in amount for both, or the appeal will be dismissed.
    Appeal from Ihe District Court of the Parish of Carroll, Farrar, J.
    
      M. DuBose, for plaintiff. DeFrance, Pilcher & Montgomery, for defendants ' and appellants.
   Yoorhies, J.

The plaintiff obtained, in the lower Court, a judgment for a sum of money and for the delivery of a note of three hundred and sixty dollars, The appeal is suspensive, and the appeal bond is for the snm of three hundred and fifty dollars.

A motion to dismiss this appeal is based upon the ground, that the bond is insufficient in amount. The order of appeal does not fix the sum for which security should have been given, otherwise than by stating that it be conditioned according to law.

The bond furnished by the appellants covers the moneyed judgment, but not the amount of the note. It is, therefore, insufficient.

Appeal dismissed at costs of appellants.

Merrick, C. J., absent.
