1Opinion of the CourtDouglas, J.
This is an action to recover damages for alleged injury to the plaintiff’s land by the defendant throwing mud, sand and water thereon, and further flooding it by filling up the sweat and lead ditch which was necessary for its proper drainage.
This is one of a series of cases arising out of injuries indicted upon abutting land owners by the defendant in deepening and widening its canal in 1898 and 1899.
