N. M. Long & Company v. Cannon-Papanikolas

CROCKETT, Chief Justice. The plaintiffs sued for damages and for injunctive relief based upon the claim that the defendants
in draining and conditioning their land had drained water from the adjoining lands of the plaintiffs. From adverse judgment
the plaintiffs appeal. The attack upon the judgment poses these questions: (1) Does the evidence compel a finding that the draining of the defendants'
land caused loss of water from the land of the plaintiffs; and (2) if so, can the defendants be held liable for damages caused
thereby.
