MOORE, J.

From a monied judgment against him for the sum of $662.50 with legal, interest thereon from judicial demand, Febuary 19th, 1903, the defendant obtained an order for a suspen-sive appeal “upon giving bond according to law”.

To maintain an appeal as suspensive the Code (Aft 575 C. P.) requires that the appeal bond shall exceed by one half the. judgment- rendered, the interest being considered as part of thé judg-menh -
