Head Matter:
J. C. Beatty v. Celeste Tanner.
In a suit by the holder of a note against the maker, where the payee has transferred it, the plaintiff is bound to prove the endorsement of the payee, before he can recover.
APPEAL by plaintiff from the District Court of Terrebonne, Randall, J.
J. C. and A. Beatty, for appellant.

Opinion:
The judgment of the court was pronounced by
Slidell, J.
The plaintiff has not proved the endorsement of the payee, and cannot, therefore, recover against the maker of the note. It is therefore decreed, that the judgment of the district court be reversed, and that there be judgment aB in case of non-suit; the plaintiff paying costs in both courts.
