State v. Peckard, 5 Del. 500 (N.Y. Super. Ct. 1854).
Opinion
If the commissioners are resisted or obstructed in the exercise of their office, that is an indictable offence, but no nuisance: if the public earth is taken away, that is a trespass; but to make out a case of nuisance it must amount to an obstruction of the street, something that renders it less convenient to the public generally.
Verdict not guilty.
