Dickerson v. Mixter
Dickerson v. Mixter
Opinion of the Court
This case depends on the construction of the deed from the plaintiff to Charles E. Waite, from whom the defendant derives his title, by several mesne conveyances. By that deed, the plaintiff conveyed to Waite a narrow strip of land, for the purpose of enabling him to erect a mill dam thereon; and also the right to build, upon the land of the grantor, a mill or factory, and the right to dig a canal from said mill dam to such mill as might be so erected. The mill, however, was not built on the plaintiff’s land, but several rods therefrom, and a canal was dug, from the mill dam to the race, across the plaintiff’s land, which the defendant
It was contended, in the argument, that the plaintiff acquiesced in the building of the mill and the digging of the canal. But there is no evidence of that fact; and if there were any such evidence, it would not be material — the language of the grant being clear.
Exceptions overruled
