SUIT CONTESTING VALIDITY OF A NOTEDUE TO PRESCRIPTI ON

J

In answer to Miss. Jeanne Elizabeth. Anne Dutiller I s suit by her attorney against

Sieur Ducros, .plaintiff, ,observes that thetitle upon which action was taken is very old,dating back to 1765, \vithout diligence on thepart of the plaintiff at maturity to obtainpayment, neither during the life of her brother,vmo died only in September 1766. That the saidlady made no judicial effort during this longlapse of time, to obtain payment, compels thecurator to claim prescription of this debt. A~­

mitting that the ,court woul.d adjudge the sum of4867 livres on the validity of bills receivedfrom France. The repeated interest cannot beaccorded by the principle of right which is es­tablished, that a capital loaned or advanced can­not bear in~erest only from the day of demand injustice, but as this demand is only made today,the said lady must be non-suited of this preten­tion, furthermore the succession being in defeatfor her to be advised to enter in competitionvn t h the creditors of the colony without doingthem considerable harm.

Plaintiff prays that it please the court: to non-s uit Miss Dutiller of her demands to be, paid in this colony, and in consequence recognise

the invalidity of her title of principal made byher. To have interest without action in the delayof the ordinance, and that the interest will betotaly rejected as non-demandable by default of acondemnation that establishes them.
