OF his own pocket and settled the case
Under the law of Georgia any man may
use stream passing through his own land,
and even divert it from it's course ON has oa0n
ta'ad, but he must restore it to its channel as
it leaves his land He cannot adulterate the
stream, nor can he SO use it as to interfere
with the enjoyment of it by the next owner
This refers to streams not nayigable
In all history there is not to be found a
dialogue much more impressive than that
which took place between Frederic the Great
and the trembling judges.
The king was burning with anger, the
Judges were shivering with fear, and the fol-
lowing talk was had:
The King "To give sentence against
against Peasant from whom YOU have taken
wagon, plough and everything that enables
him to get his living and to pay his rent and
taxes: is that thing that can be done?
The Judges: ''No"
The King: MAY miller who has no
water, and consequently cannot grind, have
his mill taken from him, on account of not
having paid his rent: is that just?
The Judges: "No"
The King: "But here is now Nobleman,
wishing to make Fishpond to get more
water for his pond he has ditch dug to draw
into it water from the stream which drives
the mill Thereby the miller loses his water,
and cannot grind: Yet it is pretended the
miller must pay full rent for his mill Just
as though he had full water to run it. Of
course he cannot pay his rent: his income is
gone. And what does the lower court do?
Order the mill sold: and the higher court
affirms the Judgment.
This is highly un Just and such sentence
shall be set aside
There stands the Grand Chancellor quak-
ing in every limb. The King turns upon him,
and blazes out:
Get you gone: disappear: Your successor
is already appointed"
And the Grand Chancellor skedaddles from
the royal presence never to hold office again
while old Frederick lives.
Then the angry monarch turns to the other
Judges, ''cusses" them out In royal style, and
winds up with the order:
"Get out of my sight" The frightened
Judges hurry away, but have hardly reached
the next room when the king says, "Wait
there"
They wait: and, very soon, up come certain
officers; and said Judges are whirled off to
prison. The King had them tried and con
victed. He punished them with one years
imprisonment, and condemned them to pay
all the damages the miller had sustained
"The Kings desire always is and was That
everybody, be he high orlow, rich or poor, get
prompt justice; and that without regard of
person, or rank, no subject Of his fail at any
time of impartial right and protection from
his Court of Law"
So ran the edict of the King.
And this he said, further:
''Let the judges bear in mind, That the
least peasant, even the beggar, is, no less
than his Majesty, human being, and one
