Au appeal will not bo dismissed because the warrantor has not been made a party to the appeal, where the defendant has abandoned all right of appeal agaiust his warrantor.
The judgment of the lower court was not reversed, because the judge refused to compel experts to report after the expiration of the time appointed for them to report. In a case of this kind, it was a matter of discretion with the judge whether he would do so, or leave the parties to the benefit of the testimony of the experts before the jury.
PPEAL from the District Court of the Parish of Terrebonne, Roman, J.
XJl Beatty c6 Bush, for plaintiff. Connelly & Rightor, for defendant and appellant.

Opinion:
Merrick, C. J.
The plaintiff has moved to dismiss the appeal taken by the defendant, Shaffer, because he has not made his warrantor a party to the same. The motion appears to be sustained by the authorities. See Williams v. Courtney, 9 An. 99 ; Oliver v. Williams, 12 Rob. 180 ; Blanc v. Cousin, 8 An. 72 ; Hewson v. Creswell, 10 An. 232.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed by the court, that the appeal in this case be dismissed at the costs of the appellant.
