delivered the opinion of the court.
*552The bill then states, in substance, that the said James hi. Carpenter, a short while before the filing of the bill, cut a ditch on his land, which has diverted the water from its natural channel, and deprived the plaintiff of access to it, in consequence of which the plaintiff has been great-ly and irreparably injured, and for which, from the continuous character of the injury, there is no adequate remedy at law.
