COURT OF KING'S RESCII, MAT IS.

?Na MFG 111. LADD' IRD AND )17"7
This was an indictment &falai de tree-defeatist/a
for a nuisance. The defendants are proprietors of a
manufaet-ry at Stepney, for the manufacture of bleach-
ing powder and ninristic arid. The defendants hue- ,
ing been convic:tel, were this day, on the motion of
Mr. Dremae, brought up to receive judgment. At'
the trial it was stated, and proved, that so subtle vas
the vapour which arose from the materials used in the i
proc' as for makitie the bleaching powder, that the
fruits and tre-s, flowers and vegetables, growing in
the gardens in the neighbou: hood, were destroyed, and I
rendered barren ; and even linen, when hung out to
dry, aft-r being washed, if within the influence of the
vapour, were burnt by it to such a degree, that they
dropped into pieces. The defendants row put in affi-
davit, sworn by some of the most eminent chemists in
London, stating that it was initossible the evils com-
plained of von'd be produced by the manufacture car-
ried on by the defendants.
Mr. St AIILICTT addressed the Court in snittgation.
and sail, to fully convinced were the defendants that
no injurious effect could be produeel Com the gas
which escaped from their manufactory, even at the
distance of ten yards, that they were ready to submit
to any experiment on the subject ; and if they should
be found to be nistaken, they were ready to submit to
any judgment which the Court should pronounce, eveny
though it ,hould extend to their utter ruin.
The CHIEF JCSTICE observed, the objection was nut
confined to the burning of the linen. It was also
stated by several witnesses that their health was sleet-
ed by it. "We were thinking of proposing that the
defendants, tor the present, should pay the costs, and
that, at a convenient opportunity, smue gentleman at
the Lir, to be appointed by the Court, should make any
experiment he thought tit, to prove whether the vapour
would affect fillets in the manure stated. If it should
turn out that this part ut the evidence was not true, the
Court would not order the nuisance to be abstad,us it
must be take', that this evidence had great weieint.tritb
the Jury in the verdict which they I,as e. 7 Ste Ceuta I
would name Mr. Alderson, who %weld make tin.
azue-
:intent, and report to the Court on that t•r :11v other
eirrunetance which might present itself to his Mind." ,
'this proposition being acceded to by the parties/ the
Court made an order accordingly,
