Tbe allegation in tbe complaint was that on account of tbe negligent operation of defendant\u2019s plant and of tbe artificial drains for tbe discharge of water, chemical substances giving off offensive odors were caused to flow on plaintiff\u2019s land, lessening its value. Tbe first issue, submitted without objection, and answered in tbe negative, was determinative of tbe cause of action alleged. No issue was tendered as to nuisance. Trespass was not alleged. Plaintiff brought forward in bis assignments of error several exceptions to tbe judge\u2019s charge. From an examination of tbe record we are left with tbe impression that none of tbe exceptions are sufficient to warrant a new trial. On tbe facts, tbe jury has decided against the plaintiff, and tbe result will not be disturbed.\nNo error.",
