13 Minn. 324 | Minn. | 1868
By the Court This is an appeal from an order modifying an injunction.
The only ground for the appeal urged is that the action is barred by the statute of limitations, and the case of Eastman vs. St. Anthony Falls Water Power Co., 12 Minn., 137; and Sec. 17, chap. 31, Gen. Stat., are relied on in support of the appellants’ views. The decision referred to only holds that Seo. 12, Chap. 60, Comp. Stat., limited the time for commencing an action of this kind to ten years after the cause of action arose. But that section was repealed'in 1866, before this plaintiff had a right of action, and before the statute had
Section 17, chap. 31, Gen. Stat., is inapplicable. It relates only to an action for damages, and cannot by construction be extended to an action to abate or enjoin a nuisance. Bedel vs. Janney, 4 Gilman, 193; Hazel vs. Shelby, 11 Ill., 9.
Order affirmed.
