Description

ERROR to the District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. This action was instituted in the district court, by Theodor Nicolet and J. J. Sigg, both averred to be aliens, and citizens and subjects of the republic of Switzerland, but at present residing and trading in the city of New Orleans, under the firm and style of Theodor Nicolet & Co. The petition of the plaintiffs set out a joint and several demand against J. R. Bedford, James W. Breedlove and William L. Robeson, formerly partners in trade, and doing business in the said city, under the firm and style of Bedford, Breedlove & Robeson. The cause of action was a promissory note, subscribed by Bedford, Breedlove & Robeson, for $2964.10, dated at New Orleans, 22d November 1826, payable sixty days after date, to the order of the petitioners. The petition then averred, that said Bedford, Breedlove & Robeson had become indebted to the petitioners in the amount of said note, with interest and costs. It further averred, that Breedlove and Robeson were citizens of the state of Louisiana, and resided in New Orleans, and that each of them were liable, as aforesaid; and prayed that Breedlove and Robeson might be cited, and that judgment be rendered against them, jointly and severally, for the amount due. Attached to the petition was an affidavit, setting forth that Breedlove and Robeson were jointly and severally indebted, &c. Two separate writs of capias ad respondendum were issued, the one against Robeson, the other against Breedlove, upon which they were severally arrested and held to bail, under a special order of the judge.
