Steere v. Harford Township

Opinion by

Gawthkop, J.,

This is an action of trespass to recover damages for permanent and irreparable injury done to a mill property. The injury is alleged to have been caused by the change in the construction of a township bridge over East Martin Creek, whereby the channel of that stream was obstructed below the plaintiff’s mill so that the waters thereof were backed up to such an extent that the mill and the' land surrounding it were flooded and depreciated in value.
