Abijah S. Wakeman, Appellant v. Sylvia A. Wilbur, Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the referee’s judgment, holding that an obstruction of a public highway is a public nuisance and that a private individual who suffers special damages may sue to abate it, and that a defense of an adequate statutory remedy raised for the first time after judgment is not a valid ground for reversal.
