PULLAJI. was w cape of very great iinpuriaviee to manufaetur ets and others, who have works erected upon streams of water, as well as to the public at large. It was as amino brought against Mr. Pullen, linen-bleacher, at Biltou, near Harro gate, for having thrown Into the stream which passes through the Plaintiff's gronnds, the refits* of his bleeehtne proem, and thereby rendering Me water unwholesome and unfit for the use of his cattle. K appeared from the evi&enee, which extended to a very considerable length, that the liminess of bleaching linen cloth had bees carried oa fur almost 50 years, but nosirjary was perceived to be done to the water, until the new pro ems of bleaching by oxygenated! neurintie acid had been adopted by Mr. Pullen, in the year 1813; but that sine* that permit, it was alleged that Ilia water hart become die. coloured, by the solid and liquid refuse of the retorts, which had. been thrown sr were suffered to flow istu it, and that the water had become so bad as sectuasly to injure the health of the cattle of the Plaintiff. This part of the case was trot, however, yew clearly merle true in -evi dence,. and the strength. of the case on the part of the Plaintiff lay in the testimotry of Dr. Murray, a. most respectable physician et Knateatooruogb„ who had iistyeed several bottles of We water taken out of the sires* at the 1 , 3111111 R place of the Plaintiff's cattle, about thirty yards belew flea e works of the Detoolati!, and who stated as the result Of his examination, that the water,was unabole some, gaol iniet fur the drink of cattle. A InitUt of water was produced in Court, the appearance of which was very uninviting, being almost as black ns lnkl its OnitliWa• as unpkassist as its look. Dr. Murray, after eutritiers'iug the setutartoe with which the water sons. impregnated, attri buted its otherholersontenuse N. the huge quantity of intligesti- Ede vegetable mailer highly carbonated which it curtained, net chemically united, but in suspension, and which arose from the •tieerithle matter deposited by. the yore it the pew sews of bleaching. It was proved that the water above the works. of the Defendant was in a pure state.

Mr. Baotionaat, who was leadiug Couusellor the Defeo& ant, addressed the Jury iu a speech of considerable Circe sad ingenuity, in which he coulanditel, that the Plaintiff has in( Cubit to establish the fact, that bra cattle had sustatued tn. jury, had not made out his ease, and, that the esirletitte of Dr. Murray 'ruche-to be Nisi out of the eonsiderati .... of the Jury., because the water which he bail aroolyeest had herr taken up inure than a year after the netiou was commenced, and that it could consequently afford can proof of the mete of the water at the former relied. But, continued Mr. Bruegbam, even allowing that %tile insuperable difficulty was removed, allthat DJ. Murray provedwas, a slight in crease to anted which must hartiexisted from the time that the bleaching. works had been first erected, and which fur lie Wog a period could nut be put duos, whatever injury they might, have done to the water. Mr. Justice BAIMItY, ill stating the law to the Jary r aaid, if the process of bleachiag had continued the came as it ass twenty years since, the Plaiutiff could not sustain that whin, because the D. feudist would have a Firths to else the water as it hail been staid in times past ; but if bp,aay.diffr rent mode of bleaching, the water was further de.eriutraterl, he bud a ri.tlit to deuraud reparations fur the itsjory Ire had sof- Sired. The Plaintiff had • right tie hese tile water in Um mine state he hod it before the new process am used, and the qnestiou the Jura would have to consider was this— Did the new process of bleaching, adopted bathe Llefeuelaut, Fender the water of this stream less wholesome than it was berme ? If ON Jury should be satisfied, num the evidence, that it produced this effect, the Plaiutiff would be entitled to their verdict. If the evil had out bean increased by Ibis new Extrema, their verdict mast lee for the Defendant. Hfs Lad shin then recapitulated the evidence with great precis siun, cud puid a handsonie compliment to the chemical skill nod knowledge of Dr. Murray mud Mr. Allinson, which had been chiefly elicited in the luminous ansrrre of the worthy Doctor to the scientific cross-exaniu uation of the latter gentle man. His Lordship then left it fur the Jury to say, whether the refuse thresh tufo the stream, in cutlet quenee of the chemical mode of blearhieg, hail or had nut resodersd the. water less fit for the use of cattle, which was We specific evil uf which the Manua complained.
