“that the cause be remanded to the Civil District Court, Division D, in order that testimony may be taken and judgment rendered on the question of the defendant in order of seizure and sale rendered in said matter:”

¶3Defendant’s Appeal.

¶4Appeal from the Civil District Court, Division D.

¶5ST. PAUL, J. — Plaintiff issued executory process against property belonging to defendant» The property was duly seized and sold by the Sheriff, and, thereafter, defendant took a devolutive appeal from the order directing the executory process to issue.

¶6Thereupon plaintiff moved to dismiss the appeal on *508the ground that defendant had acquiesced in the execution of the writ and the seizure and sale of the property. The case was remanded for the purpose of taking evidence on that point.

June 20, 1910.

¶7This evidence is now before us and shows that defendant was fully cognizant of the proceedings about to- be taken against his property, even before such proceedings were begun; that he was in consultation with the parties in interest and raised no objection to the fact or form of such proceedings; that he was present at the sale made by the Sheriff, entered no protest against the same, and even arranged to have some one to bid on the property for his account.

¶8We are of opinion that these facts taken together show a complete acquiescence on the part of defendant in the proceedings. His appeal must, therefore, be dismissed.

¶9Code of Practice, Arts. 567, 612.

¶10Appeal of Louis Miramon dismissed.
