Mrs. E. Bourlon, Wife of H. Verges, vs. E. Waggaman, Sheriff, et al.
The plaintiff in execution, which is onjoine'l by Mrs. Bom-Ion, attacks on several grounds tho validity of the judgment of separation between her and her husband. Tho record shows that more than one year elapsed between the dates of either flic judgments of thelseizing creditor, or of tho wife for separation, and the date of this proceeding or the date of tho seizure enjoined. Tho plea of prescription of one year filed in this court must prevail.

The plaintiff, wife of Verges, and separate in property, enjoined the sale, claiming the sugar as raised on a plantation which she purchased after judgment of separation and cultivated with funds obtained on hoi" sole credit. The plaintiff in execution attacked the validity of tho judgment of separation, because fraudulently rendered; because rendered by. consent; because rendered upon insufficient allegations and without-proof; and because it was never executed. Judgment was rendered dissolving the injunction, and plaintiff appealed.
