No. 6278.
    G. L. Kouns vs. Eugene Waggaman, Sheriff, and Sam. Lawson.
    It is axiomatic that a judgment will not be annulled for matters which, although good by way of defence, have not been urged through laches.
    In the absence of fraud or want of citation, a defendant cannot be heard to urge, by way of action in nullity, defences existing before judgment and which should have been then presented, or if then presented and overruled, should have been corrected by appeal.
    Appeal from the Fifth District Court of New Orleans. Cullom, J
    
      B. Egan for Plaintiff Appellant. De Grey for Defendants.
   White, J.,

delivered the opinion affirming the judgment.
