Supreme Court of Connecticut August 5, 1908 (Alderman v. City of New Haven)

Prentice, J.

The relief sought in this action, whether legal or equitable, is asked by reason of a claimed invasion by the defendant of a legal right of the plaintiff. The right alleged to have been invaded is the plaintiff’s right of property in the lands described in the complaint. The claimed invasion results from the maintenance, past and present, of a sewer through and over these lands.
