How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• observing that whether a nuisance exists “is one of degree, and usually turns on a question of fact”
• permitting recovery of “damages caused to the plaintiffs’ property by dust resulting from the nearby operation by the defendant of a coal loading tipple and a coal crusher”
• “It has been said that the term ‘nuisance’ is incapable of an exact and exhaustive definition which will fit all cases, because the controlling facts are seldom alike, and each case stands on its own footing.”
