Sowers v. Lowe

9 A. 44, 5 Sadler 268, 20 Week. No. 76, 1887 Pa. LEXIS 616
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania·Decided February 28, 1887·Published·Cited by 4 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam:

The evidence of the plaintiff shows that she has no legal cause of action against the defendants. The natural flow of water, from a higher onto a lower lot, cannot as a general rule give a cause of action to one injured thereby. There is nothing proved in this case to take it out of the general rule. There was no error in directing a nonsuit on the unquestioned evidence of the plaintiff.

Judgment affirmed.
