¶1•The opinion of the court was delivered by
¶2Plaintiff sues on Metropolitan Police warrants, or certificates, issued for salaries due to police officers for the years prior to 187?.
¶3*120The aggregate of these warrants amount to the sum of $5,519.02.
¶4She acquired the warrants by purchase from the original holders thereof, or their assignees.
¶5Defendant is the Receiver of the Board of Metropolitan Police, a defunct corporation. See State ex rel. Brittin vs. City of New Orleans, 106 La. 469.
¶6The prayer of her petition is for judgment against the Board, thus represented by the Receiver, for the aggregate sum of the warrants, with five per cent, interest on various amounts, going to make up the sum, from various dates purporting to represent the time when the warrants, respectively, became due; and that the judgment be made payable out of the Metropolitan Police .taxes levied prior to the year 1879.
¶7Judgment was rendered by the court a qua in accordance with the prayer, except that no interest on the warrants was allowed — the judgment being silent as to interest.
¶8Defendant appeals, and in answer to the appeal plaintiff prays amendment of the judgment so as to allow interest as prayed for in her petition.
¶9In his .brief filed in this court counsel for defendant declares the appeal was taken so as to afford the Oity of New Orleans an opportunity to urge whatever objections she might have to the recognition of plaintiff’s claim against the funds derived from the taxes levied for account of the Board of Metropolitan Police; that the assistant city attorney, who was present at the trial, stated he desired the case appealed.
¶10Counsel .further declares he had not, himself, been able to discover error in the judgment appealed from, admitting the evidence and the law justified the decree.
¶11In the absence of any showing to the contrary by the Oity of New Orleans, it is assumed the city has nothing to urge in the way of error.
¶12Nothing remains but to affirm the judgment, unless plaintiff’s contention as to interest is well founded.
¶13The certificates sued on are silent as to interest. Plaintiff’s petition contains the allegation that the warrants declared on are payable out of the Metropolitan Police taxes, levied by the Oity of New Orleans prior to the year 1879.
¶14This is an admission that the debt is payable out of particular reve*121nues. It is not alleged or shown that the revenues thus applicable to its payment have been collected and are in the treasury. See Fire Engine vs. City of New Orleans, 39 La. Ann. 982.
¶15This being so, interest cannot be allowed.
¶16Judgment affirmed.
