1t is the opinion of the court that the
years. under the plaintiffs declaration
if any there We're, should have been
sought under X. s. Chap. 43, Secs and g.
But the plaintiff further alleges in his
writ that ION the first day of April,
1909 and on divers other days and times
between that day and the first day OF
November. 1902 the defendant carelessly
and negligently allowed its logs to accu
mulate and jam upon these piers to the
extent of causing the water TO rise to an
unusual height aud flow back over his
intervale and TO remain there for so long
a time as to destroy and render worth
less a large field of potatoes.
The defendant, however, while not con-
troverting the overflow of the plaintiffs
land and the destruction of his crops by
water. contends that by virtue of
special act of the legislature it was au-
thoriZed to erect at the place where To-
Gated, piers and booms TO collect. hold,
other lumber coming down the Aroos-
took river The act also provided that
they shall not be so constructed as to
impede navigation or unreasonably OBJ
Struct the common use of the river. 1t
further gave the defendant company the
right of eminent domain to take and hold
such lands as might be necessary for the
location. erection and maintenance OF Its
piers and booms. But this provision of
the act is immaterial to the consideration
of the question in issue We are unable
to discover from the evidence that the
defendant had in any way violated the
provisions of this act in the location,
erection and maintenance of its piers.
The only issue which. therefore, seems
to be raised upon the law and the evil
tdence is whether the defendant exer-
eised reasonable care in the execution OF
the privileges conferred upon it by the

On May 10th, 1906. the annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Central Maine

was elected a director, and in all the

legislature. There can be no question
that the defendant within the exercise
of due care had d right to use its piers
and booms for all the purposes they
We're intended TO subserve, without LA
bility for any damages incident to or
consequent upon the result of such act.
The first question accordingly is, did
the defendant in allowing its logs to Drift
down and accumulate upon the piers as
the evidence tends to show they did,
make a reasonable use of the privileges
granted by the legislature. 1t is the
opinion of the court that it did not.
The defendant also raised the defence
of Wis major or act of God, claiming that
the rainfall was unprecedented; that
the defendant was not required to anti
cipate it and consequently the flood was
Wis major But this contention is not
sustained by the evidence. Upon the
question of damages we are confined to
the allegations in the plaintiffs writ and

for the full amounts claimed. II, ac-

Inc law court mas handed down re-
scripts in the following cases:
Aroostook County.
Nathaniel c. Howe VS.. Ashland Lumber
Co Rescript, Spear j.
This case comes on report The facts
show that the plaintiff during the period
covered by his writ was the owner of a
farm upon the west side of the Aroos-
took River, containing an intervale of
about IA acres bordering upon the river
The defendant is a corporation operating
lumber mills at a dam across the Aroos-
took river near the village of Ashland
and about six and one-half miles down
the river from the land of the plaintiff
Bearee Island is a short distance north
of the plaintiffs land Near the upper
end of the island are erected three large
piers known as the upper Jam Piers.
The water space from the west. shore Il,
the first pier is 70 feet; from the first
pier to the second pier, 120 feet: from the
second pier to the third pier, 120: from
the third to the east shore, 60. The de-
PENDANT for about six years has used the
river exclusively for distance of er
six miles below the jam piers and about
eight miles above them, for the driving
and booming of it's logs coming into the
river from above. There was large
booming privilege below the piers. which
during the period covered by the plain
tiffs declaration, was entirely unused. 1t
consisted of three miles of dead water
and was easily available for booming
purposes.
The plaintiff in his writ declares that in
the years 1906, 1907 and 1908 the defendant
negligently allowed it's logs to jam and
accumulate upon the jam piers imme-
tent to cause the water to overflow
his interyale and deposit thereon logs
and other debris floating down the fiver
to- such degree that he was dainag ed in
each offthese years and putsto consider
