waters of a stream: that the riparian
prOprietOrS above must allow the water
to flow on in undiminished quantities to
the riporiaE prOprietOrs below. But
this is not a correct statement of the
law. An the inacCuracy of the state
ment has often been pointed out. The
true rule is that there must be no UNI
lawful or unreasonable diminution or
diversion of the water. The diversion
and consumption of water for domestic
purposes is neither unlawful nor I'M
reasonable"
Then he said: "a gallon Of water
withdrawn from MOOsehead lake will
diminish the quantity that would 9TH
erwise flow down the Kennebec river.
But, surely. no one will doubt the right
of the people who live near that lake
to take and use for domestic purposes
a reasonable amount of its waters. Nor
can any one believe that such use
would be a wrong to the owners OF any
OF the dams across the kennebec river.
The right of the people living in the Vi
cinity of our great ponds and lakes to
a reasonable amount of their waters
for domestic purposes is sustained by
the principles of natural justice. as the
cases cited will show. And it is only
of our great public ponds and lakes
that we are now speaking.
And we affirm further. that. by viz
tue of the rule of property derived from
the Ordinance of 164l-1, as interpreted
in this State as we'll as Massachusetts.

ponds confirming more than 10 acres-is
4 l,.,t I.lft I,,..
may confer upon towns and cities the
right to take water from such ponds
for domestic purposes without making
such towns and cities liable for the
losses thereby sustained by the owners
of mill privileges. Health is of more
importance than wealth, and cleanli-
ness is next to gOdlinesS: and we hold
that the right of the people to an
abundant supply of pure water, by
which their health and cleanliness may
be secured, is paramount to the right
of mill owners to have the water for
propelling their machinery. and that to
the extent that the two right conflict
the latter must yield. OF course. private
property can not be taken for public
use without making compensation fol
it, But the waters of great ponds and
lakes are not private property. They
are owned by the State. and the state
may dispose of them as it thinks prop
err"
Then he took up the question OF
whether a long use of it would not have
been adverse and held that there was
nothing adverse no matter how long the
mill owners may have used the water
because, he says, the governmental
powers Of the state are never lost b!
mere non-use. He said: "The right o.
the people to sufficient quantity o.
water for domestic purposes is incon
trovertable. An when. by permission

After deliberating for nearly three
hours Without agreeing on a verdict
the jury were allowed to go to supper

meaning of ''malice aforethought," and
also to define the different degrees OF
murder and manslaughter.
AS soon as Judge Sheldon had con-
