Head Matter:
H. T. Mabry v. J. L. Tally.
The Act of 1839, amending Article 275 of the Code of Practice, which establishes the cases in which a sequestration may be ordered, forms part and parcel of that Article, and the legal effect of the amendment is the same as if the Article were reenacted, with the words of the amendatory Act inserted in its text.
The decision in the case of Wells v. St. Dizier re-affirmed, to the effect that, an affidavit for a sequestration embracing several of the alternatives of Article 275 of the Code of Practice, as amended, is sufficient in law.
The addition, in such an affidavit, of another of the legal alternatives contained in the Article, will not vary the principle.
APPEAL from the District Court of the Parish of Rapides, Cullom, J.
T. C. Manning, for plaintiff and appellant.
Hyman <& Cazabat, for defendant.

Opinion:
Buchanan, J.
This is an appeal from an interlocutory judgment of dismissal of a writ of sequestration, upon grounds which are identical with those in the case of Wells v. St. Dizier, 9 An. 119.
Upon the authority of that caso, the affidavit for sequestration in the present one must be held sufficient in law. It will be remarked, that although there was a division of opinion among the Judges in Wells v. St. Dizier, upon a question of admissibility of evidence, there was none in relation to the sufficiency of the affidavit for sequestration.
Judgment reversed ; writ of sequestration reinstated, and cause remanded for further proceedings; defendant and appellee to pay costs of appeal.
