Syllabus

<p>Relief on Injtjbx to Land by Mining.—If a party who is engaged in mining for coal causes water, sand and clay, in a flowing mass, to descend upon the land of another so as to destroy its value for cultivation, and such descent is the direct result of the act of such party, and not the mere result of the law of gravitation, the person whose land is thus injured may recover damages, and enjoin the future commission of said acts.</p>
