Gantt, J.
I dissent on all the grounds taken to support the action of the plaintiff; there is no infringement of any right granted. The application of common law principles, in relation to prescription, to a ease of express grant, is inadmissible; and I think the damages given excessive, and unwarrantable, from the facts given in evidence.
