This cause came on before the Court upon a motion
for a special injunction and was argued by counsel
for the plaintiffs and defendants and thereupon it
is declared by the Court that the said plaintiffs are
entitled to land keep or slaughter any cattle, beeves,
calves, sheep, swine or other animals and to have, keep
or establish any stock landing, yards, pens slaughter
houses or abattoirs at any point or place on the
east bank of the Mississippi within the parish of
St. Bernard or in the corporate limits of the city
of New Orleans below the United States Barracks
or at any point on the west bank below the present
depot of the New Orleans Opelousas and Great
Western Rail Road Company to the same extent
of right as the said Crescent City Live Stock
Landing and Slaughter House Company have
and enjoy, subject to inspection and such other
police regulations as the said company and
engaged in like employment are subject to
and that the said parties (plaintiffs) may
carry on the live stock landing and slaughter
house business and may prepare animal
food for markets and may vend and dispose of the
same and may keep and maintain animals
for use and erect wharves, sheds, stables and yards
and do whatever it may be lawful for the said
defendants to do under the terms of their act of
incorporation as an exclusive privilege subject to
like regulations as aforesaid. And the Court directs
[page 3]
[handwritten]
that an injunction be issued from this Court,
enjoining and restraining the defendants from
commencing or prosecuting any other suits upon
their act of incorporation than such as are now
pending against the said plaintiffs or either of
them for doing or performing any act embraced
in the declarative clause of this decree or for
suing for any fine or penalty imposed in said
act of incorporation for doing or performing any
of the acts aforesaid and from interfering with
them in the prosecution of their lawful occupations
as live stock dealers or butchers or as vendors of
animal food or animals.
And the said Court here excepts from the
operation of this decree the proceedings in any
of the Courts of the State that are now pending
but reserves to the said plaintiffs all other
remedies for their protection contained in the Constitution
of the United States and Act of Congress, whereby
in the lawful pursuits aforesaid they may be deprived
of the rights here declared and ascertained.
