G.R. No. 48578 | 1943-02-19

D E C I S I O N

MORAN, J:

The stipulation of facts and the evidence adduced at the trial of this case disclose that from July 13, 1937, to August 11, 1938, the motorboats Rogelio X and Marianito owned by defendants Marcelo E. Cruz and Carmen Desiderio used the wharf situated on the port of Calapan, Mindoro, without payment to the Province of Mindoro of the dockage fees therefor in the aggregate sum of P936. For failure to pay the dockage fees, the Province of Mindoro instituted an action for their recovery, and judgment was rendered by the trial court condemning defendants to pay the amount in question.

This judgment is now the subject...
