The Town had a right, for the use of their Town, to some water running through the grounds of Mr Middleton. This water, which formerly was spread through a piece of swampy ground, Mr Middleton's father, ahout thirty years ago, collected into a channel made by art. The Lords found that the Town, in consequence of their servitude upon the water, had a right to enter Mr Middleton's grounds and clean this channel as often as it was obstructed.
