Reports of Cases Adjudged in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Vol. 7 by Frederick Watts PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Reports of Cases Adjudged in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Vol. 7: Containing the Cases Decided in Part of March Term, in May Term, July Term and Part of September Term, 1844 The reversioner of the freehold after a tenancy for years may maintain an action on the case against one who erects a dam on the adjacent ground, and backs the water of the stream into the plaintiff's race. Case lies for a present injury to the freehold; and the law implies damage from flooding the ground of another, though it be in the least possible degree, and without actual prejudice. Error to the Common Pleas of Chester county. George W. Sergeant brought this action on the case to February term 1843, against Joseph Ripka and Thomas P. Wollaston, and complained that by a dam erected by them on White Clay Creek, they raised the water so as to flood the plaintiff's land, and obstruct the wheel of his mill above. The second count stated that the premises were under lease to a tenant at the time the injury was done; and the damages were laid to be lessening the profits of the plaintiff's mill, so that the tenant was unable to pay rent, and the plaintiff's ground was flooded and overflowed. The defendants denied that any ground was injured by the overflowing; nor did that appear, except that the water was backed up the stream, beyond the plaintiff's line and into his race, so as to clog the wheels.
