Greeley v. Maine Central R. R.
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Greeley v. Maine Central R. R., 53 Me. 200 (Me. 1865)
Appleton, Barrows, Cutting, Danforth, Dickerson, Walton
Greeley v. Maine Central R. R.
Opinion of the Court
From the statement of facts, it appears that the injury complained of arises from the turning of mere surface water, — that which accumulated from rains and melting snows, — from its accustomed course upon land of plaintiff. This being caused by erections upon defendants’ laud authorized by law, no action will lie. Dickenson v. Worcester, 7 Allen, 19; Flagg v. same, 13 Gray, 601; Barry v. Lowell, 8 Allen, 127; Parks v. Newburyport, 10 Gray, 28, and cases cited. Judgment for defendants.
