Syllabus

<p>Public Nuisance. Obstruction of street. Abatement. Private suit.</p> <p>Where parsons permanently obstruct a public street in a town, and thus deprive a residence fronting thereon of its only direct and convenient approach-to the business part of the town, the owner sustains such special injury as to warrant a suit by him to abate the nuisance, and for damages. Equity has jurisdiction without previous recovery at law, since the remedy at law is inadequate.</p>
