No. 8149.
Jean Torres et al. vs. Felix Falgoust.
The fact that a judgment was rendered at chambers, does not exempt the case from the operation of Art. 574 C. P., which provides that no citation of appeal shall be necessary when the appeal has been granted upon motion in open court, at the same term that the judgment was rendered.
■When the acts enjoined amount to a trespass or a change of possession of immovable property, the injunction cannot be dissolved on bond and an appeal lies from the dissolving order. Decision in Sigur vs. Judge, 33 An. 133, affirmed.
APPEAL from the Twenty-Second Judicial District Court, parish of St.. James. Cheevers, J.
BoU. G. Dugué for Plaintiffs and Appellants:
Upon an application to.bond an injunction, under C. P. 307, the allegations of the petition must be taken as true. 23 An. 52; 14 An. 57.
An appeal lies from the order, when the injury is irreparable; and it is irreparable when the-act complained of amounts to a trespass or achango of possession of immovable property, and also when a new suit is necessary to adjust the damages. 22 An. 512; 24 An. 154; 26 An. 603; 23 An. 52; 14 An. 57; 12 An. 455, and authorities there cited.
When an appeal is granted by motion in open court, at the same term at which the judgment appealed from is rendered, no citation or other notice to the appellee is necessary. C* P. 573, 574; 30 An. 696; 19 An. 291; 24 An. 289; 22 An. 463; 21 An. 733; 31 An. 515.

Third — The order appealed from was granted at chambers, in the parish of Ascension. An-appeal therefrom could only be obtained by an order rendered upon a petition, praying for citation, of which proper service should have been made. C. P. Arts. 573,581,582,585, 587; 27 An. 95.
Fourth — There is no legal order of appeal in the record. The minutes do not show that any appeal was ever granted. 22 An. 373; 27 An, 97; 21 An. 649; 6 An. 707.
Fifth — There is no order of appeal. The court will dismiss the appeal ex officio, 24 An. 276;. 20 An. 193; 2 An. 628; 22 An. 373; 23 An. 543.
Sixth — The affidavit of counsel for appellants filed in this Court is inadmissible to contradiot, supply or in any manner add to, the record in this case. 21 An. 649; 6 An. 707; 10 An. 550; 12 An. 349; 6 An. 700; 11 Bob. 531.

Opinion:
On Motion to Dismiss.
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Fenner, J.
Appellee moves to dismiss this appeal on the grounds:.
1st. That the appeal was taken by motion in open court and without citation. The interlocutory judgment appealed from, though rendered at chambers, was so rendered during a term of the court and at the instance of appellee, and the appeal was taken at the same term. We find nothing in the circumstance that the judgment was rendered at chambers to exempt the case from the operation of article 574 C. P., authorizing appeal by motion, if taken at the same term.
2d. That there is no legal order of appeal in the record. This .objection is not sustained by the transcript, which presents the motion and order of appeal with the statement by the clerk that it is " entered verbatim, et literatim in the minutes of November 6th, 1880." We must assume that such entry exists, and that the minutes, which contain only the record of proceedings in open court, are evidence that the motion and order were made in open court and are legal.
