Art. 574 C. P. which provides that the Judge, on granting an order of appeal, shall state at the foot of the petition the amount of the surety to be given, etc., relates only to devolutive appeals. In Suspensive appeals the amount is fixed by the Code at a sum exceeding by one half the amount of the judgment, and so need not be mentioned in the order of appeal.

MOORE, J.

June 27th, 1904.
The dismissal of this appeal is moved for on the ground that the trial Judge "did not fix the amount of security to be given by said applicant, as required by Art. 574 C. P."
The motion is based upon an error of fact.
The judgment appealed from is for $175.60 with 5 per cent, per annum interest from Nov. ist, 1902.
The motion for a suspensive appeal was made and the order was granted, in open Court. The Judge fixed the amount of security at $350.00, "and caused the same with the order granting the appeal to be entered upon the minutes of the Court," C. P. 574; as all of which appears by the minute entries in the transcript of appeal filed herein. This is all that the law requires.
Motion denied.
