Baldwin v. Handy

1 McGl. 189

Opinion

Dumartrait, J.

This case is appealed from , the Parish Court, and comes before this Court by operation of law.

It is based on a promissory note for the sum of $231 05, duly signed by defendant, and transferred by endorsement to plaintiff.

The only plea set up by defendant and appellant is one which might be termed a plea in compensation. That plea is based on an unliquidated claim, the correctness of which has not been conceded, as against a duly recognized, admitted and proven liquidated claim in hands of plaintiff.
