Head Matter:
FAURIE vs. PITOT & AL. SYNDICS, &c.
Interest cannot be said for in a distinct action.
The plaintiff had brought suit for her dotal rights, against the defendants, syndics of her husband's estate, and obtained judgment, but no at-lowance was made to her for interest; none having been prayed: she now instituted the present Suit to recover the interest.

Opinion:
By the Court.,
Interest cannot be sued distinctly from the principal. It is an accessory of the debt, and when that is cancelled, the right to the interest is also destroyed.
Derbigny, for the plaintiff.
Paillette, for the defendant.
Judgment for Defendant.
