THE COURTS.



There was large attendance in the room
| OF the United States Circuit Court yester-
day, to witness the trial of the case of the
Butchers Association against the Slaughter.
house Company.
In this case the butchers asked that the
Slaughterhouse Company, the city of New
Orleans, and the Metropolitan Police Board
be restrained from interfering with petition
ers in the discharge of their legitimate
avocations. They asked, also, that writ
certiorari be served upon the Judge of the
Eighth District Court, commanding him to
send up all papers in his court connected
with the slaughterhouse case before the
United States Court.
Judge Campbell moved that the ipjunc-
ton asked for be issued. whereupon William
q. Hunt, Esq, counsel for the slaughter
house, handed in the following answer or
plea, excepting to the jurisdiction OF the
court:
Live Stock Dealers and Butchers Associa-
ton of New Orleans vs. Crescent City Live
Stock Landing and Slaughterhouse Com
pany, ct al.-Now come the defendants, and
for answer to the notice of the plaintiffs ap-
plication for an injunction herein. say:
l. That this honorable court is without
jurisdiction to grant said Injunction, or any
other relief prayed for by said bill, because
all the parties in the case are citizens of the
State of Louisiana, and because the Circuit
Court of the United States has no power in
this case to enjoin proceedings in State
court.
2. That the bill of complaint contains
repetition of TIE same alleg atoms set forth
in the petition filed by the complainants in
the State court, and decided by the Supreme
Court of Louisiana, and from which Ii writ
OF error has been granted.
3. That ii this court has jurisdiction of
defendants hat a in.
ants are not entitled to the relief prayed for,
because the statute of the State of Louisiana
referred to in said cOmplainants' bill is con-
stitutional and valid, containing only police
regulations in no manner conflicting with
the Constitution of the United States or the
amendments thereof.
Wherefore they pray to be hence dismissed
with costs, and they will ever pray.
