Cartwright v. Adair
Indiana Court of Appeals
From Jay Circuit Court; J. M. Smith, Judge. Action by John A. M. Adair against Caldwell C. Cartwright and another for injury to foundation of building. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendants appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtBlack, C. J.
The appellee was the plaintiff, the action being one for the recovery of damages for injuries to his two-story brick building by disturbance of the foundation of a wall, which it was claimed on his behalf was a party wall. The controlling question presented in argument, arising in various portions of the record, is whether or not the wall should be regarded as a party wall and the appellants therefore liable for the consequences of their removal of its support without regard to the question whether or not they were chargeable with negligence in making an improvement upon their premises.
