Procedural History:
Facts: Defendant built a pond or reservoir to supply water for their mill.
Defendant built the pond directly over vertical shafts once used for mining,
though it looked like solid earth. When they filled the pond with water, the
shafts gave way and the water flooded down, and ended up flooding plaintiff's mine
as well.
Holding: Verdict for plaintiff. There is strict liability for entities you hold
on your property.
