1Opinion of the CourtLand, J.
This case comes before us without notes of evidence or statement of facts, but both parties seem willing that the case should be decided on the case as presented in the opinion of the trial judge.
Briefly stated, this is a suit to enjoin the defendants from cutting and opening a certain dam erected by the plaintiff 35 years ago, and which ever since has served the purpose of dividing the drainage waters flowing through the lands of the plaintiff and of Gaston De Bautte, each of whom maintained a drainage canal through his premises. This dam closed a ditch or ditches parallel to the public road.
