Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. The expression ‘‘ double concession” originated from the right of preference which the French and Spanish governments, and afterwards our own, accorded the owner of any tract of land bordering upon a river or bayou, in becoming the purchaser of the land adjacent to and back of his own tract, not exceeding an additional 40 arpents in depth. The land had to be taken within the extended side lines of the front tract having originally 40 arpents in depth.</p> <p>2. The words “double concession,” in a sale of a tract of land “with the double concession in the rear,” includes only those lands in the rear which are contained within the extended side lines of the front tract.</p>
