Opinion
The exception of prescription in this case is submitted on the allegations of the petition. The allegations of the petition show that the bonds in question were given in payment of a debt; that they were stolen; and that by reason thereof the petitioner has been evicted, his title failing, and his bonds being rejected. This eviction is charged as taking place in 1879. On this state of facts, the prescription of five or ten years is not acquired. Rev. Civil Code, 2659. See Babin v. Winchester, 7 La. 470.
The exception, therefore, should be overruled. On the trial, should such a different state of facts be shown as to justify the exception of prescription, it can be renewed.
