The IMB. had claimed a de- claration that the Ribble Hat Works, Ltd. of Ashton-on-Ribble, Preston, were not entitled to main- tain on their premises a Neon sign which, it was alleged, interfered with or endangered, or might in- terfere with or endanger, the safe or proper work working of the railway.
The defendants pleaded that the alleged interference and dan- ser-which they denied did not create any legal ability on them to refrain from using the sign,
This pleading raised a point of law and an order was made that it should be determined by the Court before proceeding with the action.
The Vice-Chancellor (Mr. John Bennett), in his judgment, said that the railway was separated from the defendants' premises Ly a road and on the front of the premises there was a Neon sign coloured red and green-the co- lours of the railway signals.
DANGER
He found that the defendants were guilty of negligence in con- unuing to exhibit their light know- Ing that it was causing danger to the railway. In his judgment the act amounted to a nuisance. "It had been argued for the de- fendants that they were entitled to make use of their land for ex-. hibiting a light for advertisement or other purpose and that the rafl- way company could not prevent such use simply because it inter- fered with their purpose.
In deciding this question, the Vice-Chancellor. said he had to consider whether a railway com- any could be regarded as exer- cising the ordinary rights which, according to ordinary notions, they wore entitled to exercise in relation to their neighbours and their property. Signals were main- tained for the safe working of the railway and plaintins were exer- cising ordinary rights having re- gard to the circumstances,
