This appeal is from a judgment of the County Court in a proceeding by the county of Harris to condemn land belonging to the appellant for the construction of a ditch to drain a public road. The court correctly refused to submit to the jury the question of the necessity of taking the land. That matter was concluded by the action of the commissioners court in determining that it was necessary to use the land for the purpose of draining the public road. Chap. 84, sec. 14, Acts 37th Leg. (Gen. Laws, p. 333) ; Mills on Em. Dom., sec. 11; 10 Am. and Eng. Enc. of Law, 1057.
