Head Matter:
Keith, Curator, &c. v. City of New Orleans.
Where an obligation bears interest on its face, it is not necessary to protest the same to make it carry interest. O. C. 1981.
from the Second District Court of New Orleans, Lea, J.
Clarice & Bayne, for plaintiff.
Livingston, for defendant and appellant,

Opinion:
Buchanan, J.
The obligation of defendant bore interest upon its face, from date. It was not necessary, therefore, for a protest in order to make it carry interest, C. C. 1931.
The city advertised on the 28th of August, 1852, that it was ready to pay all obligations ; and that it would resist the payment of interest after that date. But there is no proof, nor even allegation, that this advertisement came to the knowledge of plaintiff.
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
