Corning v. Lowerre
New York Court of Chancery · Decided December 7, 1822
6 Johns. Ch. 439; 1822 N.Y. LEXIS 128; 1822 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 39

Counsel

C. Graham, for the motion.

Corning v. Lowerre

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor

distinguished this case from that of The Attorney General v. The Utica Insurance Company, (2 Johns. Ch. Rep. 371.) inasmuch as here was a special grievance to the plaintiffs, affecting the enjoyment of their property, and the value of it. The obstruction was not only a common or public nuisance, but worked a special injury to the plaintiffs.

Injunction granted.
