for a rehearing:
In this case, the intervenors Piles & Menwd, respectfully ask of the court a rehearing.
The counsel for intervenors understand the court to have decided the case on the ground of want of reinscription of the mortgage granted by Lilley and Wife to the City Bank.
The intervenors respectfully represent that no such issue was made in the District Court, nor has it been made, within their knowledge, in the Supreme Court. That this defence, if it would avail the parties in this case, not having been sot up by them, must be considered as waived, and cannot now be supplied.
We respectfully urge upon the court that prescription does not apply in this case because, in the first place, it was interrupted :
1st. By the executory process issued 8th June, 1845, and there is a pact of non alienando in the mortgage of Lilley and Wife to the City Bank. See cases of Stanborough v. McCall, 4 A. R. 322, 327.
2d. By payments made by the defendants in the executory process.
The executory process was issued on the 8th June, 1845, and returned on the 17th July, 1845, with an endorsement of a credit of two hundred and fifty-nine dollars paid by the defendants.
An alias order of seizure and sale issued on the 10th February, 1847; property seized and advertised for sale on 1st April, 1847, and sale postponed at request of defendants.
Pluries seizure 23d February, 1848, returned 11th March, 1848, credited with the sum of (1103 19) eleven hundred and three dollars and nineteen cents, paid by Henry Carl for the defendants.
The seizure enjoined in this case issued for the balance due after crediting these payments.
The mortgage of Lilley and Wife to the bank is dated 8th May, 1838, and the debt for which it was given was payable in five equal annual instalments from that date. C. C. 3424, 3486. 3 L. R. 262. 8 L. R. 283. 12 L. R. 455. 1 R. R. 556. 6 R. 419. 8 R. 145. 9 R. 18, 113. 3 A. R. 552. 4 A. R. 509.
We also refer the court again to the 5th and 6th points made in our printed briefs, and the authorities there cited.
In the case of King v. Hicky, 2 A. R. 367, the Supreme Court decided that “Prescription is an exception which the debtor and his creditors alone can plead. The obligation subsists until they avail themselves of the prescription ; courts of justice cannot supply it.” And in the case of Young v. Carl, 6 A. 412. The court say that the judgment decreeing the present plaintiffs in injunction, creditors of the defendant in this suit, is clearly erroneous. Then, if the present plaintiffs were not creditors of their mother (the mortgagor), they could not plead prescription, because, say the court, “ prescription is an exception which the debtor and his creditors alone can plead.”
We understand the court to rest this case upon the Art. 3333 of the 0. O. and the case of Shepherd v. The Cotton Press Co., 2. A. pp. 100, 113. We x'espectfully submit that the case of Shepherd refers alone to the inscription of mortgages, and not to the prescription of them.
*195The defence of non-inscription cannot he made in this court, by way of argument. Like all other peremptory exceptions, it must be pleaded specially, C. P. 346, and when pleaded in the Supreme Court, the proof of it must appear by the mere examination of the record. C. P. 902.
For these reasons, we respectfully ask that a rehearing may be granted.
Rehearing refused.
