No. 1288.
Same vs. Same.
APPEAL from Fifth Judicial District Court, Parish of Ouachita. Richardson, J.
Defendant and Intervenor Appellant.

Opinion:
The opinion of the court was delivered by
McEnery, J.
In a dation en paiement the thing transferred to the wife must bear a just proportion in value to the amount due the wife. A sale is an entirety, and there is no contract where there is no agreement as to the price. If the property transferred to the wife esceeds appreciably the debt due her, she can not be permitted to retain a part of the property transferred and remain a creditor to the community for the difference.
