Action by Melissa Squires against Oliver P. Hurd.

No opinion. Judgment and order reversed on the exceptions, and a new trial ordered, with costs to abide the event. Held, (1) that the court erred in limiting the defendant’s liability to negligence: (2) that the plaintiff is entitled to recover for such injuries as resulted from defendant’s change of the natural course of the stream.
