WATER RIGHTS
CASE DROPPED
Litigation of MenSCh vs. Gail
Dismissed For Want of
Prosecution


In the Court of--chancery yesterday
afternoon Chancellor Charles NJ. Curtis
handed down a decision in the case of
Mensch et al. VS.. Gail ct. al, and on
the motion of J. Harvey Whiteman to
dismiss the complaint granted an order
accordingly for want Of prosecution.
This case has been in the court of
chancery for number Of years and
was brought by the plaintiff to recov-
cr payment for a grist mill in Penn
sylvania which Theodore Gail of this
city had purchased. About the time
that Gail handed over mis- check for
the property he discovered a clause
IN the deed regarding water rights
which he did not like and accordingly
stopped payment on the check with tine
Security Trust and Safe Deposit Com
psny of this city.
The mill was operated by water from
the Perkiomen creek but later the town
of Greenville. in Montgomery county.
Pa. which was about two miles from
the mill in dispute and received its
water supply from the creek, cut off the
water to such an extent that the mill
could not be operated.
The amount to be paid for the mill
was several thousand dollars. repre-
scnting Calls savings Tor a life-time
and in order to prevent Mensch from
getting the money a temporary injunc-
tion was granted by then Chancellor
Nicholson and the case hung on In
court until last spring when Judge
Conrad resigned as master to take tes-
timony in the case.
An effort was made then by Robert
Adair, attorney for the plaintiff. to have
a master appointed and the name OF
Alexander B. Cooper was suggested
but he never received his commission
and the application for the dismissa
OF the case was accordingly granted OF
the ground Of want OF prosecution.
