““It is the well-settled jurisprudence of this State that, where it is expressed in the default judgment that it was confirmed and made final on-due:proof of the plaintiff’s demand, it will be presumed that legal and’sufficient evidence was produced before the judge in spite of the fact that the record does not contain a note of evidence. See Fowler v. Smith, 1 Rob. 448 ; Hubbell v. Clannon, 13 La. 494 ; Goldman v. Thomson, 3 La.App. 469 ; Donaldson v. Sheridan, 11 La.App. 498 , 124 So. 193 ; Martin v. District Grand Lodge No. 21, La.App., 146 So. 793 ; and Wilson v. Lagasse, [ 14 La.App. 463 ] 179 So. 472 .””
