COMPANY CHECKMA9HD
Chancellor MeGill Temporarily
Stops the Haekettstown
Aqueduet Company's
WePFk.

ChancellorSMc last night granted an
order to s~howScause why the Hacketts-
own AcqueductS company should not be
restrained in its construction of an
aqueduet to supply the town of Hacketts-
town, Warren county, with their new sup
ply of water.
The order was procured by Counsellor
Ezka K. Seguine for William Baldwin AK
ford, a patent solicitor of No. &c Mont
gomery street, now residing at No. 80
Eighth street, Jersey City, who owns a
large farm measuring many hundred
acres in the township Of Washington, in
Morris county, and known as the AFFORD
Farm. In constructing the aqueduct al
fuded to. the Hackettstown Company is
obstructing a stream known as the Mil
Hill brook, and Mr.. AFFORD objects most
s~trenuously.
The petitioner says that the farm has
been in his family for more than half a
century and has now descended to him.
From that time, fifty years ago, the own
ers of the farm have enjoyed the unin-
terrupted use of the water from the
stream for irrigating the farm and other
purposes. Since Mr.. AFFORD came into pos
session of the land he contemplated build
ing a dam in the stream and an ice house
near by to supply ice to the dairy. But
the Hackettstowa Acqueduct Company
came along to construct a reservoir to
supply Hackettstown with water and be-
gan extensive excavations and built a
huge stone wal in the said stream to dam
it.
Not satisfied with this, the petitioner
says. this wicked company contemplates
taking water from the stream in which
there is barely sufficient to supply the
farm and osher places along the bank.
Your orator charges" continues the
Aqueduct Company has no right at
ornrnon law to take or divert the said

is an offspring of the East Jersey Water
Company. 1t was organized under the
act of the Legislature approved April I,
1860. as a supplement to the act of March
30. 1888. incorporating the "Hackettstown
Aqueduct Company, who were given the
riGnt and privilege Of taking, diverting
and ap7ropriating to their use the water
of any spring, rill, ~rivulet, brook. pond
or creek or river or any lands within
three miles from the town of Hacketts-
town upon making or rendering conpen-
s1ticn to the ow1er or owners thereof or
persons affected by such taking Of the
water aforesaid"
IT is thus on the peg of compensation
that Mr.. AFFORD hangs his case. He
claims that IL he is not allowed uninter-
Tupfed use of the stream IT will be an in
Jury to him without repair.

Court. The murder occurred last Sep

one OF the chief grounds OF the appli-

that the Cour of Oyer and Terniner was
abolished by the voorhees, elective judi

Voorhees, law unconstitutional was not
final. and that it holds until the Court Of
Errors and Appeals passes upon If Tho
feature of the law which the Suprenee
considered, they say, was not the
part abolishing the Court Of Oyer and
Terminer, but that part relating to the
Court of Common Pleas.
Mr.. Meehan said that he was surprised

before Judge Magic. who dissented from
the opinion of the Supreme Court. and
