Morrison Waite,
Crossley v. City of New Orleans…
“ The record shows that the defendants in error sought to enjoin the collection of a judgment against their property to enforce an assessment under the drainage laws of Louisiana, (1) because under the operation of the laws authorizing the judgment nothing more remained to be paid thereon; and (2) because the judgment had, in terms, been released and discharged by certain acts of the general assembly of the state, passed in 1877 and 1878. ”
