1Opinion of the CourtDawkins, J.
Plaintiff seeks by injunction to prevent the sale of certain of its property for drainage taxes claimed to be due to “Iberia & St. Mary drainage district,” upon the ground that the property is not within the territory over which the said district has the right to lawfully collect taxes.
Defendant drainage district first pleaded the exceptions of no cause of action and es-toppel, and, these being overruled, it answered, in effect, denying the contention of the plaintiff and averring that said property was liable for the tax. It asked that the injunction be denied and for the statutory penalties.
