Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Co. v. Wilkes

FOSTER, Justice.

This is an action for damages to plaintiff’s land which is alleged to adjoin that of defendant Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Company, and claimed to be due to the drainage of surface water out of the springs and wells on plaintiff’s land produced by a falling in of the roofs of two closely connected mines of said defendant, also causing cracks and crevices to occur on the surface of plaintiff’s land in places.

One Immler was sued with the company, as well as another employee. A judgment was rendered against the company and Immler, but not the other.
