But where the abating the nui-sanee will restore the lands to the same value, and use as before the nuisance, and no real loss lias been as yet sustained, the damages should he small; but if after this the nuisance should be continued, and a new action brought, then the damages should be so exemplary as to compel an abatement of the nuisance. There was a verdict for the Plaintiff, and six-pence damages.\nNote \u2014 Vide - v. Deberry, and the note thereto, ante 248.",
