Head Matter:
Lacroix Fils v. Sarrazin.
(Circuit Court, E. D. Louisiana.
January, 1883.)
Public Teeatibs—Pleading.
The court takes judicial notice of the public treaties between the United States and foreign countries, and a citizen of such a foreign country, in bringing a bill against a citizen Of Louisiana, need not allege that there is such a treaty in force.
In Equity. On demurrer.
R. King Cutler, for complainants.
Andreiv J. Murphy, for defendant.
Reported by Joseph P. Horn or, Esq., of the New Orleans bar.

Opinion:
Pabder, J.
This court takes judicial notice of the public treaties between the United States and foreign countries. Where a citizen of France has, in compliance with the trade-mark laws of the United States, duly registered a trade-mark, he need not, in bringing an action against a citizen of Louisiana for violation of his rights in such trade-mark, allege that there is in force a treaty between the United States and France affording privileges in France to citizens of the United States similar to those given by the trade-mark laws of the United States.
Let demurrer be overruled.
