Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York November 26, 1957 (A. L. Russell, Inc. v. City of New York)

Judgment and order awarding interest on the verdict, in each action, unanimously reversed and complaint in each action dismissed, with costs to the appellants. We would not agree with defendants’ argument that they might with legal impunity heedlessly drain water from the subsoil supporting an adjoining building knowing that as a likely consequence the building would settle.
