Supreme Court of Louisiana April 27, 1908, No. 16,693 (Gauthreaux v. Theriot)

LAND, J.

This is a petitory action to recover two small tracts of land brought by the plaintiffs, as the heirs of their deceased parents, Clet Gauthreaux and Celina Laundry. It appears that the mother, who owned one of the tracts, died in 1879. The father died in the year 1902.

In 1890, Clet Gauthreaux paid the taxes for 1889 on both tracts which were assessed to him.
