The opinion of the court was delivered by
Bermudez, O. J.The appeal in this case is taken by a creditor' of the plaintiff, for a small amount, from the order of the District Judge, accepting the voluntary surrender made by him.
The complaint is that there is error in this acceptance, to the prejudice of that creditor who feels aggrieved thereby.
The erf or charged consists in this: That the schedule presented by the insolvent contains a too brief and vague statement of the assets, and does not conform with legal exigencies.
The property abandoned is stated to be as follows:
Store and dwellings -102 Dryades street.............................................................. $4,500
Stools: in trade..................................................................................................... 6,000
Outstanding accounts............................................................................................. 10,000
One horse, one mule, one wagon (separately valued)........................................ 550
$21,050
The creditors are named, and the amounts due each respectively are stated in several exhibits, which show the amount of the passive to be $30,067.45.
The appeal is unwarranted.
The order rendered by the District Judge is not a final judgment susceptible of acquiring the force of res judicata.
It is a mere ex parte order, not even an ordinary interlocutory decree, contradictorily rendered.
*125It is not an order or decree, susceptible, by its execution, of causing any irreparable injury to the appellant, and there is no averment or pretence that it does.
It is an order which can be rescinded or modified by some appropriate proceeding in the lower court, contemplating a requirement for further description of the assets, or for the rejection of the application for the benefit of the insolvent laws, or some other-purpose.
The order, as made, can only enure to the advantage of the creditors of the insolvent, who, if the statement of assets is unsatisfactory, either because not sufficiently detailed or explicit, or because it does not include all the property of the ' applicant, or for some o.ther reason, are not thereby deprived of any legal remedy, to have their rights adjusted. 42 An. 71; 20 An. 364; 36 An. 909; R. S. 1795, 1786, 1789.
If injury can be sustained by the creditors, it is not surely any inflicted by the action of the judge, but rather that occasioned by the move of the appellant, which leaves the applicant in possession and procrastinates a liquidation and distribution.
If there be error in having accepted the cession, it can not be redressed in the form attempted.
Appeal dismissed.
