204 BOARD OF AGllICULTURE. [P. D. No. 4. 



pipe was laid tlirough onto "C's"land. *'C"sold after- 

 wards to " D," and " D " afterwards sold, never starting the 

 water, to " E." " E " occupies it to-day. After " E " had 

 occupied it a few days or a month, he discovered this pipe, 

 and attached it and ran it to the house. The question is, 

 Avhether " E " will have a les^al rio:ht to this sprinoj. 



Mr. Dickinson. How long did " B" use it? 



Mr. Howard. " B " used it about ten years. The under- 

 standing was, that when water was short in the pasture he 

 was to shut it oif. 



Mr. Dickinson. He went in to take the water under an 

 agreement with the other party. There must be an element 

 of adversity between the two people. There never was an 

 adverse use. I presume there was no written agreement. 

 The moment *'B" sold out, that put an end to the agree- 

 ment, if ever there was one. I would not give much for 

 *'E's" alleged right. 



Secretary Stockwell. I move that the meeting of the 

 Board of Agriculture be now dissolved. 



The motion was carried, and the meeting dissolved at 

 1.20 P.M.
