Description
During the flood of 1927 the plaintiffs property, in the village of Cavendish, was destroyed by the waters of the Black River. He has brought this action to recover for his injury of which he claims the negligence of the defendant in the manner in which it constructed a conduit diverting the waters of School House Brook, and in the construction of an inadequate dike along the side of its pond in the river, about 1,000 feet from plaintiffs premises, was a cooperative and producing cause. The flood itself is conceded to have been of such unprecedented dimensions and destructive character that it was an act of God. The defendant is a corporation engaged in the business of generating and selling electric power, and, at the time in question, maintained a dam, pond and power house at Cavendish.
