THE OWNER OF A LOT MAY. ON

ING OWNER, MAKE ALL NECES-
SARY EXCAVATIONS FOR PUR-
POSES OF CONSTRUCTIONS. EVEN
VI 10 HIS LINE; BUT MUST USE
ORDINARY CARE TO SUSTAIN
THE LAND OF THE ADJOINING
OWNER.
The court saws:
according to the allegations of the
pc.i,ioil, the PLAINTIFF was in possession
vi the premises in question as a. tenant
for a term of years of the owner. He
alleges that the defendant dug down
ana undermined the wall of the build
ihs' ana deprived it of its lateral sup
port, and that it collapsed and fell:
and. further, that the defendant some
TIME thereafter totally destroyed and
removed the building, and evicted petit
toner therefrom. AS against q general
demurrer. the petition sets forth n
cause of action. Any wrongful inter
terence with the possession OF tenant
Oh real estate gives to him Il right Of
action against the wrOng-doer. 1 Sedg
Meas. Dam. GO; 3 Suth. Dam. section
loi2. What duty did the defendant owe
the plaintiff in respect of the matter in
question? Section 30iS of the Civil
Code provides:
The owner of adjoining land has the
right, on giving reasonable notice of
MS intention so to do, to make proper
and nccdful excavations even up 10 the
line for purposes of construction, using
ordinary care and taking reasonable
precautions to sustain the land of the
OTHER"
Under this section. before making
any excavations at all, the defendant
should have given the plaintiff notice
OF his intention to do so: and, even
after notice given, it was incumbent on
the defendant to have used ordinary
care in the prosecution of the work
and TO have taken reasonable precau-
tons 10 prevent the PLAINTIFFS wall
from falling. The petition does not
allege failure to give notice, and does
not in terms allcge Il failure to use the
care required by the statute after
having given the notice but it does al
lege that the wall was undermined and
deprived of it's lateral support. If the
aNermentS of the petition are con-
strucd to mean that the defendant ac-
tually undermined" the wali,-that is.
dug under the wall into the adjoining
lot.-then no allegation as to want OF
ordinary care in the way the work was
done would be necessary; for such con-
duct would make the defendant n tres
passcr. and liable as such. no matter
what decree Of care he exercised. If,
on the other hand. tho petition be con
strucd to mean that the wall was un-
dermined in the sense that the defen-
dant dug away the lateral support by
making an excavation on his own land
then the plaintiff should have distinctly
alleged that the defendant failed to
exercise n proper degree of care in the
execution of the work and. had the
point been made by special demurrer
that he did not do so, it would have
been well taken. but as against Il
general demurrer the allegations are
sufficient.
