Syllabus

<p>Waters — Diversion of waters — Trespass.</p> <p>Where a husband constructs a ditch on land, the title to which is subsequently acquired by his wife, and diverts a stream in such a way that in times of freshet, water is cast in large quantities upon land which the stream did not previously touch, and the wife after acquiring title does nothing to remedy the trouble, both husband and wife can be held liable in an action-of trespass for the injuries sustained by the neighboring owner.</p>
