Head Matter:
James D. Coughlin & another vs. Bedford Gardens, Inc.
March 4, 1955.
The case was submitted on briefs.
George Bordan, for the plaintiffs.
B. Robert Levin, for the defendant.

Opinion:
Final decree affirmed with costs of the appeal. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendant, owning sixty houses near land of the plaintiffs, built a drainage system which floods the land of the plaintiffs. A master whose report was confirmed found that the defendant has not cast water upon land of the plaintiffs, and that the plaintiffs acquiesced in the drainage system installed by the town of Bedford in 1948. No breach of duty on the part of the defendant appears.
