Supreme Court of Louisiana January 15, 1843 (State v. Mexican Gulf Railway Co.)

Bullard, J.

Among the admissions of the parties in the record, is the following: “ The land on which the Rail Road has been made does not belong to the Company, none of the owners having been expropriated.” It is not, therefore, independently of the act of the legislature, susceptible of being mortgaged, and is not affected by judicial or legal mortgages.
