§ 1. Nature and form of remedy.

Where judgment decrees nullity of title set up by defendant, but also decrees revival of mortgage under which defendant claims and directs resale under mortgage, plaintiff has no right to separate appeal from that part of judgment in accordance with his petition nor to suspend execution of any part of judgment obtained by plaintiff in reconvention, on bond for costs.-State ex rel. John T. Moore Planting Co. v. Howell, 336.

2. Nature and grounds of appellate jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court does not sit for decision of moot questions.-Succession of Lacosst, 837.

§ 3. Right of review.

favor judgment has been rendered in accordance
with his own prayer cannot appeal.-State ex
rel. John T. Moore Planting Co. v. Howell,

ceased husband of one of the defendants and

garnished funds belong to the succession, and
nothing shows that the funds received by the
garnishee as belonging to defendants did not
belong to them, the appeal will be dismissed.-
Brinson v. Scott, 449.

Unless third persons appealing from judgment
annulling election on prohibition question al-
lege and prove direct pecuniary interest, not a
future, contingent, and speculative interest, the
appeal will be dismissed.-City of Alexandria
v. Police Jury of Rapides Parish, 635.

Where sugar plantation is in hands of sheriff
under executory process and defendant asks
that writ of seizure and sale be set aside and
requests sheriff to grind sugar cane instead of
selling it, defendant has not acquiesced in
seizure and sale so as to estop him from ap-
pealing.-J. B. Levert Co. v. John T. Moore
Planting Co., 792.

4. Presentation and reservation in
lower court of grounds of review.
As an allegation of the registry of a waiver
of homestead was an allegation of a matter of
fact, and not of a conclusion of law, where the
intervener, in its pleadings and during trial,
admitted and conceded that the waiver was re-
corded, it was estopped to deny the registry
on appeal.-Iberville Bank & Trust Co. v. Du-
puy, 28; In re H. T. Cottam & Co., Id.

§ 5. Requisites and proceedings for
transfer of cause.
Surety company qualified under Act No. 41
of 1894, § 6, when appeal bond was execut-
ed, held a sufficient surety, notwithstanding

deposit with treasurer in accordance with Act
No. 71 of 1904.-Franek v. Brewster, 46; In
re Jacobs, Id.

It is too late to inquire into residence quali-
fication of surety on appeal bond on motion
to dismiss submitted with merits of case.—
Heitcamp v. Willis, 745.

§ 6. Suspensive appeal.

The amount of the bond required to suspend
execution of a judgment for a specific sum is
determined by Code Prac. art. 575, and is not
to be fixed by the judge, where the fund in
dispute and by which such judgment may be

§ 8. Dismissal, withdrawal, or aban-
That the lessor, pending his appeal from
the judgment in the lessee's suit to annul the
lease, relet the premises, and in a separate suit
recovered judgment for rent admitted to be
due, held not such an acquiescence in the judg-
ment annulling the lease as to authorize dis-
missal of the appeal.-Henry Rose Mercantile
& Mfg. Co. v. Smith, 217.

Where the right to appeal from the dissolu-
tion of an injunction had lapsed, an appeal from
a judgment, finding surety on bond given for
injunction appeal to be insufficient, will be dis-
missed; the matter being moot.-Moniotte v.
Bouanchaud, 445.

Appeal from judgment dismissing application
to compel secretary of state to place name on
official ballot will be dismissed where appellant
makes no appearance in Supreme Court, and
attention is not called to appeal until after
election.-Kelly v. Millsaps, 547.

Under Code Prac. art. 907, an objection that
an appeal was taken for delay is not ground
for dismissal.-National City Bank of Chicago
v. Barringer, 630.

Where suspensive appeal by plaintiff in in-
junction suit arresting seizure and sale is held

repurchase property.-Louisiana Land & Immi-
gration Co. v. Murff, 808.

Motion to dismiss appeal setting forth no de-
fect, error, or irregularity in taking of appeal
or in filing of transcript will be denied.-Laver-
gne v. Roussel, 915.

ings preliminary to hearing.
Appeal of citizens and taxpayers of a parish

tion voting prohibition in the parish, involves
a public interest entitling it to be transferred
