Description
Appellees, Luther O. Newsom and wife, sued appellant for actual and exemplary damages. Their claims for actual damages were grounded upon allegations that appellant had permitted Johnson grass to mature and go to seed on its right-of-way during 1948 and 1949 and had failed to construct and maintain its roadbed, tracks and a certain culvert thereunder in such manner as to carry surface waters resulting from an ordinary rainfall off of their land through such culvert. Their claim for exemplary damages was based upon allegations that appellant had wilfully and maliciously failed to comply with the terms of a mandatory injunction theretofore issued by the court below commanding it to construct all such necessary culverts and sluices in its embankment as the natural lay of the land adjacent thereto may require for the necessary drainage of ordinary rainfall.
