New York Court of Appeals November 15, 1847 (Brown v. Mohawk & Hudson Rail Road)

The following is the opinion of the Supreme Court:

Nelson, Ch. J.

The defendants having a right, by the act of incorporation, to build the embankment and bridge over Mill creek, the only question in the case is, whether the wrork has been so negligently and unskillfully done as to have occasioned the injury complained of.
