Text

If no objections be filed to the proceedings under the writ or to the verdict of the jury, and it shall appear to the court, upon a view of the inquest, that the mansion house of any proprietor, or the outhouse, curtilages or gardens thereto belonging, or orchard, will not be overflowed, and that the health of the neighborhood will not be materially affected by the stagnation of water consequent upon the proposed erection, the court shall thereupon grant or refuse the permission prayed for, according to its judgment of what would be most reasonable and just under all circumstances.
