Philbrook v. Berlin-Shelburne Power Co.
Supreme Court of New Hampshire · Decided December 7, 1909 · Young
74 A. 873; 75 N.H. 599; 1909 N.H. LEXIS 85

Philbrook v. Berlin-Shelburne Power Co.

Opinion of the Court

Young, J.

If the availability of the plaintiffs’ farm for a summer boarding-house made it more valuable than it otherwise would have been, it was proper for the jury to consider that fact; for the measure of the plaintiffs’ damages is the difference in the value of their farm before and after their meadow-land was flowed.

Befendants’ exception overruled.

All concurred.
