Description
RICHMAN, C.J. The appellant is Greene County which was defendant below in its corporate capacity. § 26-606, Burns' 1933, § 5220, Baldwin's 1934. In 1929 it acquired from the City of Linton a public hospital which since has been operated by a board of trustees appointed pursuant to § 22-3203, Burns' 1933, § 4509, Baldwin's 1934. In 1936 and 1937 the hospital was more than doubled in capacity by the erection of a connecting two-story building, the north wall of which is close to the south line of a sixty-foot lot owned by appellees on which there is a six-room house in which they reside. In January, 1938, appellees brought this action for damages alleging that appellant ""by and through its officers, agents and employees . . . has operated and maintained said hospital building as a nuisance. . . ."" Demurrer for want of facts was overruled and upon answer in denial the cause was tried by a jury who returned verdict for appellees.
