iJ?w°eTS?£a.1 Court of Appeals. 
 
 IN A CAUSE BETWEEN 
 
 BERNARD ANTOINE PANET,. ..,.. appellant. 
 
 anO 
 
 DANIEL ARNOLDI, respondent. 
 
 THE RESPONDENT'S CASE. 
 
 UL'PIS /CT-PPvW-l originates in an Inscription Et Moyens 
 de faux made by the Appellant, in the Court of King's Bench, for the 
 District of Montreal, against a Deed of Sale of a certain Farm and Pre- 
 n^ises by the Respondent to the Appellant, duly made and executed before 
 Thomas Barron and Henry Griffin, Esquires, Public Notaries, duly ad- 
 mitted for the Province of Lower-Canada, and bearing date the 29th 
 day of August, 1815; on which Deed of Sale the Respondent had on 
 the 27th August, 1819, instituted an action against the Appellant to re- 
 cover the sum of £500 Currency, being the balance of an Instalment of 
 the purchase money long before due, together with the interest accrued 
 thereon. 
 
 The Moyens de faux which were offered by the Appellant, m the 
 Court below, to invalidate the Deed of Sale, are two : — 
 
 1st. " Because the Allegations on the face of the Deed of Sale, of 
 " the Appellant and Respondent, the contracting parties, being present 
 " before the said Notaries at the time of passing the same, and that the said 
 " Actor Deed was made and passed at Montreal, in the Office of Mr. 
 " Barron, in the presence of the said Notaries, are false; and also that it is 
 " falsely stated in the said act that the contracting parties signed the said 
 " Act with the said Notaries, and in their presence lecture faite,i\\e said 
 
 Appellant alleging and offering to justify that the said lle nry Griffin 
 " was not present at the passing of the said Act ; but that on the contra- 
 " ry, the said Act was made and passed in the absence of the said Henry 
 ♦* Griffin, but that the said Henry Griffin signed the same En second m 
 " the absence of the contracting parties, the said Appellant averring by 
 " the Laws in force in this Province, the said Henry Griffin could not so 
 
 " sign. 
 
 2d. " That the said Deed of Sale is false, because it is falsely alleged 
 " in the Declaration of the Respondent, that the Land sold was iVee of 
 " all incumbrances whatsoever, wlu rcas on the contrary the said Apjjel- 
 " lant alleges that the said Laud was at liic time of passing tiie said Act, 
 " hypothecated for the payment of certain sums of money." 
 
 In support of the last Moyen, the said Appellant filed a certain claim 
 for £\49 — 1 — 4, pretended to be due to llie Seminary of Montreal. 
 
 The answers to these Moyens, by the RespondcMU in the Court below, 
 are that the two moyens above recited were iuiperlinent, inadmissible and 
 insufficient. 
 
 On the l'3th of April, 1820, alter every endeavour on the part ol the 
 Appellant to retard a hearing, the parties by their counsel were heard 
 on the Moyens defaux ; and, on the 17th of the same month, tlie Court 
 below upon a point so plain concurred in opinion with the Respondent 
 and by its judgment declared tiie Moyens defaux " imperlincns et inad- 
 missiblts,'' and adjudged in consequence, that they should be rejected, 
 condemning tht« Appellant to the costs. From tliat Judgment the present 
 Appeal has licen brought and one general reason is a^•igned, " That the 
 " Judgment IS contrary to Luiv and Practice.'" A j.i\ iieral answer has 
 been fik-d by tiie Respondent, and the cause now stands for hcanng on 
 tlie grotmd of Appeal mentioned. 
 
 guebec, 21th July, 1820.
