COMMENTS FORMAL REQUIREMENTS OF PLEDGE UNDER LOUISIANA CIVIL CODE ARTICLE 3158 AND RELATED ARTICLES' According to the scholar Denis, "[t]he pledge springs from natural law and is of the farthest antiquity;" it secured debts "in the primitive relations of men." ' 2 Although the specific beginnings are unknown, fre- quent mention of the pledge in ancient texts evidences its early application3 and points to at least one conclusion: that in its earliest stages of development, formalities of pledge were much simpler, albeit more dra- matic, than those of today. Herodotus, in his Histories, explains that a debtor in ancient Egypt would deliver the mummy of his father to his creditor, who was quite willing to make a loan on this basis. 4 Since the mummy was of great religious value to the debtor, he would certainly pay the debt in order to redeem the pledge. In ancient Athens and Rome, the mechanics of pledge were similarly simple: the debtor and creditor contracted that, upon default of the loan, the debtor would become the slave of the creditor until the debt was repaid.

SECURITY INTERESTS UNDER PLEDGE AGREEMENTS THE extent to which security law in responding to the ned of business practice nmust reconcile conflicting commercial foirces is illustrated Iby the doctrinal history of the pledge. Both parties to a credit transaction frequently desire, for reasons of expense or business expediency, that the security reb be retained by the borrower. On the other hand, third persons may demand notice of the lender's security interest in order to guide their course uf dealing with the debtor.' The search for a mean proves particularly difficult when the parties avail themselves of the pledge device. Once borrower and lender select its simple formula in order to avoid the requirements sur- rounding such alternative devices as the chattel mortgage and conditional sale, the courts respond to the demand of third persons for notice by com- pelling the lender to take possession of the property as a condition precedent 1.

The question as to the rights of the pledgor and pledgee in the property, both before and after the maturity' of the debt is of importance, and the results flowing from an improper and illegal transfer of the pledge by the pledgee are often complicated. It is, accordingly, proposed in the following pages to consider transactions involving transfers of the property by the pledgee, and to endeavor to formulate the rules which regulate the rights and obligations of the parties in this respect. According to Story's definition, which has been universally accepted, a pledge or pawn

The minority position, as expressed in separate concurring opinions by Justices Harlan and Stewart, was that the state conviction should be reversed because absence of an opportunity to confront and cross-examine the witness, through counsel, was a denial of due process of law guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment, but that the fourteenth amendment should be controlling in- dependently of the sixth. Justice Harlan argued that the Court had not incorporated the first eight amendments in toto was evidence that not all of the provisions of the Bill of Rights are fundamental, 3 2 yet the Court ignored the possibility that all parts of any one provision may not necessarily be fundamental. The traditional and indispensable diversity of the federal system, subject of course to due process of law, was also alluded to by Justice Harlan as a reason not to bind the states rigidly in the area of criminal law enforcement.

Economics and other domestic needs may lead to a landowner giving out the possession of his land upon a pledge and while he gives out possession, retains title very much in the same way as the overlord under a customary tenancy arrangement. The rules and characteristic of customary pledge were based mainly on the degree of trust which people had in one another in the olden days under the customary setting. Today however, most pledges of land have due to long possession resorted to adverse claims over the pledged land against the pledgors which has resulted to needless and avoidable litigations over conquest for title. The peculiar nature of the customary pledge and the ease with which it could be exploited by the unscrupulous pledgee to attempt to expropriate the pledgor of his interest in the land has brought up the need to examine the nature of customary pledge and appreciate its reassuring peculiar characteristics which have refused to yield to the schemes of the greedy and to give them a leeway to foreclose redemption.

Forum Juridicum PLEDGE OR MORTGAGE OF IMMOVABLE PROPERTY AS PROPER SECURITY FOR A SUSPENSIVE APPEAL Carey J. Guglielmo and Sidney M. Blitzer, Jr.* The Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure fixes the security for a suspensive appeal from a money judgment at an amount that exceeds by one-half the amount of the judgment, including the interest allowed by the judgment to the date the security is furnished, and exclusive of costs.' The defendant, particularly when an individual, may have difficulty in supplying such security, especially if the amount of the money judgment is substantial. Even if he is a person of moderate income, com- pensated sureties are reluctant to write suspensive appeal bonds, and personal sureties may be impossible to obtain. However, if he is a landowner and his immovable property is of suffi- cient value, he may pledge or mortgage it as his security for the appeal.
