PETITION FOR REHEARING-In the case of
John Y. Davis and John II. Roberts VS.. The
City of Sacramento, in which it was sought
to have the city drainage canal declared
nuisance and sbated, City Attorney Ander.
son has petitioned the Supreme Court for
rehearirg before the Court in bank It will
be remember that the judgment was for de-
PENDANT in the Superior Court, but de-
cision was rendered from Department One of
the Supreme Court, at its late session in this
city, in which it was held that the Act of
1S67-S provided for the construction of g
drainage canal to Snodgrass slough and
that if it was not completed to that
point and emptied the sewage into
lake or slough other than that speci.
fed, and by reason thereof the damage
complained Of was sustained, plaintiffs
doubtless have cause of action" The City
Attorney asks for rehearing, relying upon
the legislative license to the city to construct
the canal that it has been constructed in good
faith; that plaintiffs have not shown any
unlawful act upon the part of the defendant !;
that no cause of action for nuisance can lie,
it being for public use and, lastly, that the
action cannot be maintained for the reason
that the plaintiffs do not show that any de-
mand was first made upon the city for dam
ages, whereas the city charter provides that
no action shall be maintained against the
city until after satisfaction shall have been

is necessary to SO allege in the complaint
