*2The opinion of the court was delivered by

Niqholls, C. J.

Plaintiffs allege themselves to be a firm domiciled in the city of Manchester, England, and doing business in the city of New Orleans. They aver that on October 14, 1892, through their representative in that city, Ernest Overbeck, they were served with a notice of threatened seizure (which they annexed to their petition) by the treasurer of New Orleans, calling upon them for the payment of a city tax of 1892 amounting to $400, besides interest and costs, based upon an alleged assessment on the sum of $20,000 on money at interest and cash.
