The defendants are condemned to satisfy the judgment rendered eight days ago, as they failed to prove that the fence was not tight and that the damage was done before by other animals. In default whereof the fiscal is authorized to attach their goats and to sell as many of them publicly in the fort as will satisfy the judgment and the costs of the trial.[1]
