In Smith v. Sun Oil Co., 165 La. 907, 116 So. 379, the conveyance in question was held to be a sublease instead of an assignment, but it was said that the lessor had not disposed of all its rights under the original lease, but had granted an interest less than its own and imposed obligations under penalty of reversion, among which were provisions to the effect that the rights of the lessee should revert to and revest in the lessor whenever the lessee should cease to develop the lease.
