JUDGMENT. JUDGMENT
DISTRICT COURT OF 18TH Judi. DIST.
ST LANDRY-NO. l3,307.
JUSTINE ROBIN VS.. ALCIDE DEKERLE-
GAND, HUSBAND, ET AL.

The plaintiff, wife of defendant, Alcide De
kerlegand, sues her husband for separation
OF property and for judgment against him
for monies received for her by her said hus-
band In the same proceeding, the plaintiff
asked for all injunction prohibiting Louis De
kerlegand from paying over to Alcide De-
kerlegand, or to any assignee of said Alcide,
any part of the money which said Louis owed
to the said last named; and the plaintiff fur
ther prayed by supplemental petition for
sequestration of all the property of the de-
fendent, Alcide DeKerlegand.
lnterrogatories on facts and articles were
propounded to Louis DeKerlegand, to obtain
the information of the amount of his indebt-
edness to Alcide DeKerlegand and to fix his
liability towards the plaintiff. After being
duly authorized to carry on these proceed
ings the plaintiff took Judgment by default,
which was followed up after expiration OF
legal delays by proceedings in confirmation of
said default.
The plaintiff has fully made out her case
against her husband, and also against Louis
Dekerlegand, as to the demand made against
him.
For these reasons, and because the law is
in favor of plaintiff, it is ordered, adjudged
and deereed, that the plaintiff, Justine Robin,
be separated in property from her husband,
Alcide DeKerlegand, and that the community
between them be dissolved; and it is further
docreed that she have Judgment against him
for the sum of six Thousand dollars, with five
per cent yearly interest from the date of this
Judgment, and the costs of these proceedings,
And it is further ordered that Louis De
Kerlegand be enjoined and prohibited from
paying to Alcide DeKerlegand, or to any as
signee of this latter, the balance which he
acknowledges yet to owe, to-wit: four thou
sand six hundred and eight dollars, loss three
hundred and fifty dollars.
And it is further ordered and decreed, that
this balance, when exigible, shall be paid to
the plaintiff in this suit and it is further
that the property attached by ethe sheriff be
sold to satisfy the Judgment herein rendered
against the defendant; and it is further Or
payment of her paraphernal rights herein es-
tablished be recognized upon all the property
which the said Alcide DeKerlegand owned
on and since the 9th of September 1871.
Done, read and signed in open Court, this
5th of Oct. 1882.
