Syllabus

<p>Bridges — Telegraph companies — Use of bridge — Condemnation of bridge by county — Equity—Remedy at law.</p> <p>Where a bridge company has given to a telegraph company the right to lay its cables and wires across a bridge for an annual rental, and the bridge is subsequently condemned by the county in which it is located, the county cannot maintain a bill in equity against the telegraph company to compel it to remove its wires and cables, or pay a rental for the use of the bridge. In such a case the county has an adequate remedy at law.</p>
