delivered the opinion of this court.
This bill filed on the 11th of September 1854, by the present appellant, (Cherry,) against the appellee, alleges, that Conrad Reineker departed this life possessed of certain leasehold estate in the city of Baltimore, and that, in 1853, letters of administration on his estate were granted, by the orphans court of said city, to Conrad R Fite. That he, as administrator of said
The bill likewise alleges, that there were in the rear wall of the back building certain windows and lights which opened upon that portion of the lot ■ sold to the complainant and described as situate in the rear of the back building, the same being a triangle four feet wide at the widest point; adjacent to which open triangle there was also, at the time of the sale, an open lot then in possession of said administrator. That the said back building and the windows and lights therein have been standing and used for above forty years, without let or hindrance; and that for the space of forty years the eaves and roof of said back building have projected over the said portion of the complainant’s lot four feet wide, and the water falling on said roof has been accustomed to run and drain over said four feet lot and the vacant lot adjacent thereto.
The bill then charges, that the defendants wrongfully, and
The bill prays that the defendants may be restrained, by injunction, from digging away, or upon, the portion of the complainant’s lot in the rear of his back building, and from building their said wall thereon, and also from erecting said wall so as to darken and shut up the windows and lights in said back building; and from disturbing, removing, or any wise interfering with, the eaves and roof of the same, or with the full drainage of the water therefrom over the said lot in the rear of the back building, or over the vacant lot adjacent thereto. And there is a prayer for general relief also.
A. portion of the bill charges the defendants with doing injury to the north-east comer of the complainant’s house on Baltimore street, by digging with a view of making a vault, but his counsel have abandoned all claim to relief for any injury to this portion of the property, and therefore the subject is not now before us for consideration.
With a view of describing the lot alleged to have been purchased by the complainant, he filed with the bill a plat as his “Exhibit A.”
The answer of all the defendants, (Myer Stein, Samuel Stein, Daniel Stein, Solomon Stein, Henry R. Reynolds and J. Reynolds,) admits, that Conrad R. Fite advertised for sale, on the 20th of April 1854, the lot and improvements on the .south-east comer of Baltimore and liberty streets, occupied by
With the answer, and as part thereof, the defendants filed a copy of the written agreement between the complainant and C. R. Fite, in reference to the sale and purchase of said property. Which copy is marked S, No. 1.
The answer further says, the whole square, as advertised, was not sold at public auction, there not having been made therefor an adequate bid, according to the judgment of the said Fite, and accordingly the lots and improvements thereon were separately sold; and the prior sale of the lot on the south-east corner of Baltimore and Liberty streets, to the complainant, was confirmed, according to the written terms thereof before mentioned, by the receipt, at public auction, of the bid of the complainant therefor, at the sum of twenty thousand dollars. The adjoining lot and improvements were, at the same time, sold at public auction to John Hurst for tiie sum of twenty thousand and fifty dollars; and a few days after said sale the said Hurst assigned his purchase, and aII benefit thereof,
It is likewise stated in the answer, that in conformity with the terms of the last mentioned sale, the said Fite executed and delivered to the said Hurst a certificate of his purchase, wherein the terms of sale and the boundaries of the property sold were distinctly and accurately set forth, in these words, to wit: “Beginning on the south side of Baltimore street, at the distance of eighteen feet, six inches east from Liberty street, and running thence south about forty-two feet, as the line is located upon a plat of the entire property, recently prepared by Owen Bouldin, surveyor; then south-westerly by a straight line about eighty-two feet, seven inches, more or less, along the eastern walls of the warehouses, fronting on Liberty street, to the four-storv brick warehouse on Liberty street, now owned by C. R. Fite,” &c., &c.
A copy of which certificate of sale, marked S, No. 2, is filed with the answer as part thereof.
Further answering the defendants say, that, by virtue of said assignment of purchase by said Hurst to them, (the said Myer, Samuel, Daniel and Solomon Stein,) they became the owners of said property. That upon the entire property, (known as Congress Hall,) at the time of these purchases, the buildings were old and dilapidated, and the large prices agreed to be paid therefor were owing chiefly to the value of the lots, and not the improvements thereon. That it was contemplated by the sellers, that whether the property should be sold in bulk or in parcels the old and dilapidated buildings would be torn down by the purchasers, to make room for more modern and substantial improvements; and the division thereof was made in reference to such contingencies. Accordingly, as will be seen by comparison of the two written memoranda of sales, one to the complainant and the other to the respondents, Stein &■ Brothers, the division line between them was made to run with the improvements as they then stood; no more ground on the one hand having been sold to the complainant than was covered by the improvements occupied by Schwartz & Dix; and the western line of the lot sold to Hurst being made to run
“The respondents admit it to be true, that, as they have built, as of right they might do, along the eastern wall of the warehouses on Liberty street, they have encroached upon a triangle (marked yellow) upon a plat filed with the complainant’s bill; but they deny that in so doing they have encroached upon any rights of the complainant, no part of said triangle having been purchased by the complainant, and all easements therein, in reference to water and light, being subordinate, (if any such exist, which these respondents do not admit,) to the superior rights of these respondents, (Stein & Brothers,) in reference to the improvements of their property.”
The answer likewise denies that there is appurtenant to the complainant’s lot any prescriptive right to throw the water from his spouts or eaves upon the lot of the respondents, all such water going naturally and conveniently, as it ought to do, into Liberty street. It also denies, “that there are any ancient
The defendants deny, generally and particularly, all averments contained in the bill, in reference to damage and injury to the rights of the complainant by the building then being erected by them. They also deny the existence of any prescriptive or other right, upon the part of the complainant, to keep open windows or to throw water from his roof or spouts, upon the lot purchased by them, in such wise as to interfere with the improvement of their property, in the mode in which they were then improving it.
The following is the copy of the written agreement between the complainant and C. R. Fite, referred to in the answer as “S, No. 1:”
“1 have this day purchased from C. R. Fite, administrator of Conrad Reineker’s estate, the lot and improvements on south-east corner of Baltimore and Liberty streets, occupied by Messrs. Schwartz & Dix, fronting on Baltimore street 18J feet, more or less, by 73 feet, more or less, on South Liberty street, subject to the annual ground-rent of $4.44, for which I hereby agree and bind myself, my heirs and assigns, to pay him the sum of twenty thousand dollars, one-half of the purchase money, say ten thousand dollars, to be placed on permanent ground-rent of 6 per cent, per annum, payable quarterly from date of sale; and four thousand dollars, to be placed on ground-rent at 6 per cent., redeemable within five years from this date, interest payable quarterly; and the balance, say six thousand dollars, payable one-third in cash; the balance, say four thousand dollars, payable in three equal payments, say 6, 9 & 12 months, with interest from date; notes to be given for the several payments, with interest as above; this sale to be null and void in case the whole square, as advertised, shall be sold together, otherwise to remain in full force.
Signed, T. F. Cherry, (Seal.)”
“Witness: — G. H. Gist.”
The following is a copy of the advertisement of sale referred to in the proceedings, and as published in the newspapers:
“ Valuable site for a new Hotel on Baltimore street. — Old Congress Hall square will be offered at public sale on this day, 20th inst., at 4 o’clock, p. m., on the premises, that valuable square of ground, with improvements, embracing twenty stores and dwellings, occupying the entire square bounded by Baltimore, Sharp, German and Liberty streets, fronting ninety-three feet on Baltimore street, and the same on German street, by 188 feet on Sharp and Liberty streets, the whole subject to a small ground-rent of about $25.

“C. R. Fite, Administrator,”
“Cannon Matthews, Auctioneers.”
Upon the bill being hied an injunction was issued. After the answer came in, testimony on both sides was produced5 and upon the defendants’ motion an order dissolving the injunction was passed by the court, on the 23rd of October 1854, from which the complainant appealed.
The first question to be examined is, whether Cherry, by the sale to him, acquired a title to the small triangle claimed by the defendants ss included in the sale to Hurst, on which they have placed their wall, and is described on the plat filed with the complainant’s bill as being “colored yellow.”
In speaking of the two parcels of property, one of which was sold to Cherry, and the other to Hurst, and by him to Stein &• Brothers, the former will be called lot No. 1, and the latter lot No. 4, these being the numbers by which they are designated in the advertisement.
From the proceedings and proof it will be seen, that the entire property known as “Old Congress Hall” was advertised to be sold on the 20th of April 1854; the whole square to be sold without division if it could, but if not, then a part would be sold in lots; which lots were described, being numbered from 1 to 5 inclusive. This advertisement was signed by “C. R. File, administrator,” without saying administrator of whom'.
Prior to the public auction, but on the same day, Cherry and Fite entered into the private agreement which has been mentioned as “S, No. 1.” After Cherry had signed this instrument the entire square was offered at public sale, but was not sold. Subsequently,lot No. 1 being offered at public auction, was struck off to Cherry at his bid of twenty thousand dollars. Shortly after this lot No. 4 was sold to Hurst, who was present when lot No. 1 had been struck off to Cherry.
It is conceded, that the limits of lot No. 1, as described in the advertisement, include the disputed triangle, and that the same is also included in the description of lot No. 4, as set forth in -the certificate of sale to Hurst, which has been referred to as “S, No. 2.”
If both contracts between Fite and. the two purchasers include the disputed property, although the two sales were made on the same day, and only a few minutes intervening, still Cherry, as being the first purchaser, acquired the better title. 5 Harris, (17 Penn.) Rep., 223. 9 Bingham, 305, in 23 Eng. C. L. Rep. But the appellees insist, that according to the proper interpretation of the real contract of sale between Fite and the appellant, his purchase did not embrace the disputed triangle. They say he did not purchase his lot according to the description in the advertisement, but according to that set out in the private agreement, in which it is not said the lot should be 35 feet wide. And in view of the evidence before us, we think the appellees are right in supposing that the sale to Cherry did not give him a right to the triangle.
The private agreement seems to have been the actual contract between the parties. It begins by saying: “I have this day purchased from C. R. Fite, administrator of Conrad Reineker’s estate,” &c., and concludes with, “this sale to be null and void in case the whole square, as advertised, shall be sold together, otherwise to remain in full force.”
Such an instrument constituted a valid and effective sale, subject to become a nullity upon a single contingency, which did not occur. The subsequent offer of the lot at auction, the same day, was quite useless so far as related to a sale between Fite and Cherry. The latter had already bound himself to purchase the property at $20,000.
An unsuccessful effort to sell the square as a whole, and then proceeding to sell it in parcels to different persons, would be quite sufficient to put an end to the only contingency on which the private sale to Cherry was to be null and void, and by the express terms of the agreement would leave it a contract of sale “in full force.”
“It was offered under this agreement between him and Cherry. This agreement was the agreement of sale between them, the property was sold according to this agreement, and not according to the printed advertisement, because the advertisement prescribed different terms of payment and different description of property.” And Fite, as a witness, also says: “Allow me here to say, that it was agreed between us, that the property was to go to public sale, and that Dr. Cherry was to have the benefit of any excess and suffer any loss over the sum agreed to be paid.”
If “S, No. 1,” be the real contract of sale to Cherry, its terms show that he purchased of Fite, as administrator of C. Reineker’s estate; consequently the rational conclusion is that the property belonged to that estate, especially when, as here, no lines or description are given, which necessarily include other property. Nor is there any proof showing the disputed triangle was held by Fite, as administrator of C. Reineker; but, on the contrary, we understand the testimony of Fite, as inconsistent with the idea of his having any authority, as such administrator, to sell lot No. 4, the description of which we have seen includes the triangle.
' Exceptions or objections to the testimony of Fite, were made before the justice of the peace who took the testimony under an order of the court, but exceptions were not regularly filed in the court below, as required by the act of 1832, ch. 302. Cross, et al., vs. Cohen, 3 Gill, 269. The evidence is therefore before us for consideration, even conceding it would have been excluded by exceptions properly filed. Gibbs vs. Gale & Stranberg, 7 Md. Rep., 87.
By agreement “the bill and proceeding, and papers in the case of Cherry & others, vs. Fite & others, referred to in the
The object of that bill was to confirm the sales of the property belonging to the estate of C. Reineker, made by Fite to the different purchasers thereof; but no reference whatever is made to the sales to Hurst or other persons, who purchased of Fite any portions of the “Old Congress Hall square,” not owned by C, Reineker at the time of his decease. The reason for seeking a confirmation of sales of the several parcels of the estate of C. Reineker, appears to have been, because there was a minor interested in that estate.
The sale to Cherry is described in that bill as “the lot and premises on the south-east corner of Baltimore and Liberty streets, fronting on Baltimore streét 183,- feet, more or less, by seventy-three feet, more or less, on Liberty street, subject to its proportion of the ground-rent of $7.94, on the whole lot,” <fcc., but the description makes no allusion to the advertisement, nor does it say any tiring in regard to widening the lot to thirty-five feet, or to any other width, on Liberty street. The decree ratified and confirmed" “the contracts as set forth in the proceedings,” and appointed Conrad R. Fite, trustee, “to execute the deeds of assignment and-of sublease according to the said contracts.” Subsequently to that decree, Cherry went on to perform his contract, in part, by making certain payments, but when others fell due he refused or failed to pay. The trustees then filed a petition in the cause referred to, asking the court to require or compel Cherry to pay in compliance with his contract and the decree. Among other reasons urged by Cherry, in his answer to the petition, why he should not be compelled to fulfil his part of the contract, he alleged that he purchased the lot No. 1, upon the terms set forth in the advertisement; that Fite had refused- to comply with the terms of sale as to part of the property, and by conveying that part of the property to other persons, he had put it out of his power to comply with the terms of the sale made by him to the present appellant. The portion of property here alluded to as having been conveyed tp other persons, means, of course, tho
In view of all the circumstances we do not think the appellant has given sufficient proof to establish the fact, that he purchased the disputed triangle, and consequently he is not entitled to the injunction, upon the ground of his having title to the land itself, on which the defendants have placed their wall.
Conceding it to be true that tito defendants were erecting a wall upon their own ground, to which the complainant had neither a legal or equitable title, still, it is said, the injunction should be sustained, because the wall, when finished, would effectually shut up, darken and render utterly useless, certain lights and windows in the back building upon the lot purchased by him, which windows were ancient, and had been used free of any obstruction, for more than twenty years, admitting light and air, across and over the premises now claimed to be owned by the defendants. This right, as being based upon more than twenty years user, was not urged with much earnestness by one of the solicitors for the appellant, but was by the other.
On behalf of the defendants it has been said, the averments in the bill are not sufficient to sustain such a claim. But we deem it unnecessary to inquire into the character of the averments, or the sufficiency of the evidence on the subject; because we do not consider as applicable to the cities and villages in this State such a right to lights, by twenty years user of them, as in some of the American cases has been called the “modem English doctrine.” To adopt it would greatly interfere with, and impede, the rapid changes and improvements which are here constantly going on. The question has never been settled by a decision of our Court of Appeals directly on the subject. The only case' having any bearing upon it, is that of Wright vs. Freeman, 5 H. J., 477, where the late Judge Walter Dorsey says, by way of illustration, in regard to the question there under consideration: “So the enjoyment of lights for twenty years, with the acquiescence of the owner of
Making use of a man’s land, without his consent or by authority of law, as a road or way, is such an encroachment upon his property as gives him a right of action for every such act; and if he submits to the user for more than twenty years, without objection, it may well be presumed he has been prevented from objecting in consequence of the user being rightful. It is not the common course of men to submit to having their property appropriated to the constant or frequent use of others, having no authority to do so, and yet take no steps to prevent it. But where A. makes a window in his own house, overlooking the open grounds of B., it is no infringement of the rights, or encroachment upon the property of the latter. Neither is it an act for which he can maintain an action, or resort to any means by which he can compel the former to shut up the window. ' And yet, under the English rule, if the window remains open and unobstructed for more than twenty years, B. cannot afterwards erect a building on his own land, if it obstructs the light. To prevent such a consequence the rule does not give him any right of action or legal proceeding, but his only remedy is the seemingly ill-natured one of rendering the window of his neighbor useless, by building a wall or other obstruction for that purpose alone, if at the time he has no wish to build a house on his own property. And if the window be of considerable height the expense of obstructing it might be equivalent, or nearly so, to the value of the unimproved or vacant land designed to be protected. The effects
The question was presented and decided in Smith vs. White, in Baltimore county court, by Chief justice Archer, and his associate, R. B. Magruder, judges of much distinction. In their opinion they say, “although the law may now be regarded as settled in England, since the modern decisions there, that notwithstanding the windows, whose obstruction is now contemplated b3rthe defendant, Mrs. White, are not what is strictly called ancient, yet (to use the expression of Tindall, Ch. J., in the case of Penwarden vs. Ching, Mood & Malk, 400; S. C. 22; Sargt. & Lowb., 340;) they are such as the law in indulgence to lights has in modern times so called, and to which the complainant would have a right if the question now before us were before a court in England; yet we are not satisfied that, upon principle, the common law as it existed at the time of the separation of Maryland from the mother country, and at the adoption of our Bill of Rights, recognized the modern doctrine in England on the subject of lights.” They refer to Wright vs. Freeman, as the only case in Maryland bearing upon the subject. And in regard to the language of Judge Dorsey, already quoted by us, they very correctly consider it as not of binding authority, because the direct question whether twenty years user would give a right to lights, was not before the court. In the opinion of those two judges, they likewise hold, that the reason upon which the rule, as established in England, rests, is not the same as that which prevails to sustain a defence of adverse possession in ejectment, or presumption of a grant arising from actual adverse occupation of a water course, common, way, or fishery. And they adopt the ruling of the court in Parker vs. Foote, 19 Wend, 318.
We deem it unnecessary to enter into an elaborate examination of the authorities, because in Parker vs. Foote, Judge Bronson has reviewed them, and has given the subject a careful and able investigation. His reasoning, in our opinion, is so correct, that we cannot avoid yielding our assent to the pro
Another ground relied on by the appellant, in support of his right to the injunction, is based upon the doctrine recognized in the decision of Story vs. Odin, and in 1 Sumner’s Rep., 501, United States vs. Appleton. According to those cases, if a man is owner of two adjoining lots of land, one of which is vacant, the other having upon it a building with lights overlooking the former, and he sells the latter, without any exception, or any reservation of a right to build on the vacant lot, or to stop the lights in the building sold by him, he cannot afterwards lawfully obstruct those lights. And as he cannot do this himself, so neither can he convey to another the right to do it.
For the purpose of bringing his case within this doctrine, the appellant’s counsel insist, that when the lots No. 1 and No. 4 were sold by Fite, the lights in controversy were open and apparent, and consequently the defendants had no right, subsequently, to obstruct them.
From an examination of the authorities on this subject it clearly appears, that that principle is only applicable where the vendor of the house having the lights, was, at the time of sale, not only owner thereof, but likewise owner of the adjoining vacant lot. Now it might be conceded, that the doctrine of
The appellant insists that he is entitled to relief by injunction, on account of the injury he would sustain by the erection of the defendants’ wall, because it would injuriously interfere with the eaves of his back building and the drainage of water therefrom. The allegation is, that for forty years prior to the sale, the eaves and roof of the back building had projected over the triangle in controversy, and the water falling on said roof had been accustomed to run and drain over the triangle, and the vacant lot adjacent thereto; that the defendants had commenced erecting their wall upon the triangle, in contact with the rear wall of the complainant’s back building, which wall if carried up as designed would interfere with and prevent the projection of said eaves and roof, and the drainage of water therefrom, to the great damage of the complainant’s lot, buildings and improvements.
If A. erects a house immediately on the line which divides his land from that, of B., and the eaves of the house are made to project over the land of the latter, this is a manifest encroachment upon his property, and an appropriation thereof to the use of another, to the extent of the projection, at least. And twenty years acquiescence by B. in the encroachment, without objection, or taking any steps to prevent its continuance, should be considered sufficient to lay the foundation for presuming a grant. Law of Easements, top pages 39, 121, 122 & 123, (Ed. of 1840.) The principle we have recognized, in
The next inquiry is, whether the complainant, by proof, has shown himself entitled to relief by injunction, on account of the injury to the eaves of his house and the drainage of water therefrom, apprehended by him, if the wall commenced by the defendants should be erected.
When the bill was filed and the injunction issued the wall of the defendants was not up, but only commenced, the top of it then being far below the eaves of the complainant’s building. The answer positively denies the right of the complainant to throw water from his spouts or eaves upon the lot claimed by the defendants; and insists that all the water from his roof and eaves, should naturally and conveniently pass into Liberty street. It also denies “any right of the complainant to throw water from his roof or spouts, upon the lot purchased by the defendants, in such wise, as to interfere with the improvement of their property, in the mode in which they are improving it.”
It is deemed proper to say that in reference to how far the wall would, or would not, affect the eaves, we are not at liberty to consider as evidence, what is stated in the opinion of the judge below to be his belief, based upon his own inspection of the premises.
There is evidence showing that the water from the roof and eaves of the complainant’s back building had, for a long time, been discharged over the lot now held by the defendants. And some of the witnesses testify that the water which had been so discharged could not, conveniently, be made to pass off over the complainant’s lot into Liberty street, but others say there would be no difficulty in doing so; one of them being Samuel Dryden, a witness for the complainant, and who lived upon lot No. 1, as a tenant, for many years prior to, and at the time of the sale, and when he was examined as a witness.
After a careful examination of the evidence contained in the
The injunction was dissolved on the 23rd of October 1854. The appeal was taken on the 28th of December following, and sent to the Court of Appeals on the 6th of April 1855; no appeal bond being given.
it is conceded on both sides, that after the dissolution of the injunction the defendants completed their wall. The precise nature and degree of injury sustained by' the complainant, if any, in consequence of the erection of the wall, may now be, fully ascertained; and the circumstances disclosed by the proof do not, in our opinion, show a clear case, urgently demanding a reversal of the decision below for the purpose of restoring the injunction. But we consider it more appropriately a case in which the complainant, should be left to such redress in a court of law.
In Amelung & others, vs. Seekamp, 9 G. & J., 472, the opinion of the court commences by saying: “In Snowden vs. Noah, 1 Hopkins’ Ch. Rep., 353, it is stated as a general principle, that the writ of injunction is a most important remedy; but it is only used to protect rights which are clear, or at least free from reasonable doubt.” The court also express their concurrence in the views of Cliancellor Kent, in Jerome & others, vs. Ross, 7 Johns. Ch. Rep., 315, “that an injunction is not granted to restrain a mere trespass, where the injury is not irreparable and destructive to the plaintiff’s estate, but is susceptible of perfect pecuniary compensation, and for which the party may obtain adequate satisfaction in the ordinary course of law. It must bo a strong case of trespass, going to the destruction of the inheritance, or the mischief is remediless to entitle the party to the interference by injunction.”
The Attorney General vs. Nichol, 16 Ves., 338, was a case
In the case of “Society for Establishment of Manufactures vs. Morris Canal Company,” Saxton’s Ch. Rep., 192, the Chancellor of New Jersey, says: “The power of the court to grant injunctions in cases of nuisance will not be questioned. ......But the exercise' of the power must always rest in the sound discretion of the court, to be governed by the nature of the case. The case presented is peculiar; but it does not satisfy me of that pressing necessity, or that certainty of mischief which would authorize an interference in a matter of such magnitude.”
In Adams’ Equity, top page 487, in a note, (Ed. of 1855,) the principle stated is, that to authorize the court’s interference by injunction, there should appear imminent danger of great and irreparable damage, and not of that for which an
Viewing the evidence, as it is before us, in connection with well established principles in regard to injunctions, we think the order dissolving the inj unction in this case should be affirmed. And the decision having been made on a motion to dissolve and not upon final hearing, the cause will be remand-ad.
Order affirmed, and cause remanded.
