Description
RUGG, Chief Justice. These actions of tort are brought to recover compensation for damages to property alleged to have arisen because the defendant, owner of a dam, bulkhead, headgate, and underground sluiceway across Green River in Williamstown with the right to maintain the same and their appurtenances to conduct the impounded waters to a mill owned by him, in fact maintained them in a defective condition with the result that they gave way, and the escaping waters caused damages to the property of the several plaintiffs. Each declaration contained two counts, the first founded upon negligence of the defendant and the second on the theory that the defendant as owner of the dam built to confine the waters of the river for his own uses owed to the plaintiff the duty to maintain his dam in a proper and safe condition so as to prevent the escape of such waters to the harm of the plaintiff.
