FOSTER-FOUNTAIN PACKING COMPANY ET AL v. HAYDEL. APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA. No. 68. Argued April 18, 1928.-Decided October 15, 1928. 1. An order of the District Court refusing a temporary injunction will not be disturbed on appeal unless the refusal was contrary to some rule of equity, or was the result of improvident exercise of judicial discretion. P. 6. 2. The Louisiana "Shrimp Act" declares all shrimp and parts thereof in Louisiana waters to be the property of the State; forbids exportation of shrimp from which the heads and " hulls" or shells have not been removed; but grants the taker a qualified interest which may be sold within the State, and provides that the meat, when the hulls are removed within the State, shall belong to the taker or possessor and may be sold and shipped beyond the State without restriction. The raw shells, as they are required to be manufactured into fertilizer or used for an element in chicken feed," are not to be exported, but, when "conserved for the purpose herein stated," the right of property therein is to pass to the taker or possessor. Upon an application for a temporary injunction to restrain enforcement of the Act, it was made to appear by allegations of the bill and affidavits, and the provisions of the Act, that conservation of the heads and hulls is a feigned purpose; that the conditions imposed upon the interstate movement of the meat and other parts of the shrimp are not intended, and do not operate, to conserve them 1 |
