APPEAL FROM THE CITY COURT OE NEW-ORLEANS.
Frivolous appeal and judgment affirmed, with the maximum of damages.
This is an action on two promissory notes, against the maker. A general denial was pleaded, but no defence made at the trial. The plaintiff had judgment, and the defendants appealed.
Kennicott, for the plaintiff.
Durant, contra.

Opinion:
Simon, J.,
delivered the opinion of the court.
This is a suit on two promissory notes. The defence is a general denial. Plaintiff proved his demand, and had judgment. This is, clearly, a frivolous appeal.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment appealed from be affirmed, with costs in both courts, and with the maximum of damages, as for a frivolous appeal.
Eastern Dist.
May, 1840.
