¶1 On Application for Rehearing

PER CURIAM.

¶2 Of course defendants should receive credit for all the rent collected by plaintiff after defendants had abandoned the premises, and during the term for which they are held liable; same to be imputed as of the date when collected.' Holden v. Tanner, 6 La. Ann. 74; Ledoux v. Jones, 20 La. Ann. 539; see, also, Succession of Romero, 137 La. 236, 251, 68 So. 433. But no amendment of our decree is necessary for that purpose, since such credit may be urged as a set-off against the judgment itself, in reduction and partial compensation thereof. Code of Practice, art. 373; Caldwell v. Davis, 2 Mart. (N. S.) 135.

¶3 Rehearing refused.
