Syllabus

<p>Where a borough has never assumed control of a portion of a turnpike road lying within its limits, and a house has been built at a point on the turnpike within the borough, where there was a rise of land on both sides, and there was no gutter in the road to carry away the' surface water, the borough is not liable for damages caused by an accumulation and overflow of water on the land where the house was built.</p>
