Meyers v. Jewish Consumptive & Ex-Patients Relief Ass'n
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiff appeals from an adverse judgment in a suit brought by him against defendant corporation and two of its employees.
Defendant corporation in the year 1938 maintained its buildings and grounds on the top of a hill overlooking the premises occupied by plaintiff. On March 2, 1938, excessive rainfall amounting to 5.88 inches fell in twenty-four hours, and flood waters running down the hill damaged the house and the personal property of plaintiff. It appeared that plaintiff had one-sixtieth interest in the real property, evidenced by a quitclaim deed for which the owner testified she had received not more than five dollars. The personal property was largely old magazines and newspapers.
Plaintiff attributed the flood damage to acts of defendants which he claimed diverted onto the premises oecu
In view of our determination as to the sufficiency of the evidence no other questions raised by plaintiff on this appeal require discussion.
Judgment affirmed.
Wood, Acting P. J., and McComb, J., concurred.
