M'Laughlin v. Thomson

1 Add. 321

Opinion

President.

When it is agreed that a race be dug through declining ground, to be of a certain depth, this depth must be measured from the lower brink, and the bottom be made level, so that when there is an inch of water at the lower side, there shall be an inch every way across. A race three feet deep must be a race that will contain every where three feet depth of water.
