Lacroix Fils v. Sarrazin

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. [MAJORITY — Pabder, J.] 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.
