C NO TRESPASSING SAYS COURT Decision as to Cemetery From Darl ington County- New Trial Was Or dered. "It shocks and outrages the feel ings, and amuses the Indignation of every right minded person In n Chris tian country that the resting place of tho dead should he Interfered with, and the place set apart for ihi.; pur pose converted into arable hind, plowed over and cultivated and wiped out ami obliterated as a cemetery." This statement is contained in i de cision by Associate Justice Watts and concurred In by all justices of the su preme court in reversing tin Dar lington Bounty court In the case of Ellas Kelly and B. J. Kelly against John Tiner. The plaintiffs are seek ing an Injunction to keep Tiner front trespassing on a cemetery. Judge I Shlpp sustained a demurrer to I no complaint. Tho supreme court in its decision reverses Judge Shipp's rul ing. Opinion. The opinion in the case is as fol lows: "This is a suit lor permanent in junction. His honor. Judge Qhlpp, sustained the demurrer to ihe com plaint interposed by the defendants, and for a proper understanding of the j case It will be necessary that the Complaint, demurrer and order of Judge Shipp and the exceptions bo re 1 ported with the ease. He allowed an amendment to the complaint on mo tion of plaintiffs. The exceptions al lege error In his decision, lie based his order sustaining the demurrer on the ground 'the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, because it appears upon the face of the complaint that there is no allegation of peculiar and special damages sustained by the plaintiffs which would entitle them to Injunctivo relief.' Did the complaint stale a cause of action boforo the amendment or afterwards? \Vo think so. The plaintiffs allege that they are grandsons and heirs at law of Jacob Kelly, and they allege that Jacob Kelly, during his life time set apart and dedicated for the use of the pub lic two acres of land as a graveyard for the burial of the dead, and that it has been used as such for NO or 90 years, and during all that time known as the 'Kelly cemetery,' and during thai time parties having dead buried there have kept up the graves by cleaning off the same and by fencing the same. That Ihe right to use this property as a graveyard has never been questioned for over f>0 years. That the plaintiffs' parents. grnnd parents, gront-grnndpnrenta and other kindred are buried there and < nch of the plaintiffs have children buried there, and expect to he burled there themselves, and their descendants x pect to he buried there. That the defendant is trespassing upon and de stroying the wire, shrubbery, trees, etc.. and making it until for the pur pose it was set apart and psod for, and intends to continue his deprada tlons until the graveyard is made a cotton patch. We think the plaintiffs allege sulllclency peculiar and special damages to entitle them to Injunction. They allege that they have kindred buried thero, children, parents and other ancestors. The allegations show they are interested in the graveyard as a whole and particularly in the plat where their dead lie. "I do not know of anything that ' would disturl> anil arouse the feedings of a properly constituted person more than the intentionl trespass and vio lation of the graves of their dead. It shocks and outrages the feelings, ami arouses the indignation of every right minded person in a Christian country, that the resting place of the dead should be interfered with. and the place set apart for this purpose con verted into arable land, plowed over and cultivated and wiped out and ob literated as a cemetery. I not only think when a graveyard is set apart for tho use of the public that those who have Kindred buried there can maintain a suit for any unlawful In terferences and trespass, hill I ;hi.il< any one who has mend buried there can Inlorfcr and allege peculiar and special damages. These plaintiffs coin* plain on behalf of themselves and on the behalf of tlx1 public in general, who have dead buried there. Where it is Impractical to bring all the parlies before the court, by reason of num bers, one or more can complain on behalf of themselves and such others as may come in. Judge Shipp based his der ision on the principles laid down in Steamboat Co. vs. Railroad Co., 10 s. c. page 827; Thront I vs. Mining Co., i'.i S. ('. page 131; Unit 7.0gor vs. Kail road Co., 54 3. C, page 242, and other caes affirming that principle An examination of these authorities will show that where the public generally sustains injury, that the party complalmng must show some special or peculiar damage to himself. "Ill the case at bar the paintiffs show this. They complain that their dead burled In n graveyard, set apart for that purpose for over 80 years, are being disturbed and their rights invaded by an unlawful attempt on the part of the dofendent to take pos session of the land occupied by their <lcad. and to tear down and eradicate all evidenco of their resting place, and to plant tho lands In crops. Not only to disturb their dead, but the dead of othors burled in the same graveyard. The very thought of the unlawful Intermeddling with the rest ing place of the dead Is abhrooent to the feelings of any one and this, In I my opinion, Is sufficient to show spe cial and peculiar damnges to the I plaintiffs. The law and Christianity devolve upon persons the duty to put away their dead, and gives them the right to protect the resting place of their dead from the wnnton and wil ful depredations of strangers. 'If one has been permitted to hurry his dead In a cemetery by the express or Implied consent of those In proper control of it. he acquire such pos session in the spot of ground In which the bodies are hurled, as will entitle him to maintain an action of trespass I "oflare clausuni fregit" against the owners of the fee or strangers, who withotu his coasent. negligently or wantonly disturb it.' Davidson vb. Reed, 53 Aincriean Reports, Gl3. in the same ease we find: 'One who lias dedicated land to the public for burial purposes, the dedication having been nccoptcd, may be prohibited from defacing or meddling with the graves thereon, at the suit of any one having relatives or friends burled there.' in the case of Davidson vs Reed, r.i; American Reports, page 32, we find, 'thai the public accepted and used the land for the purpose for which it was designated by the owner is also beyond dispute. It has been suggested that the bill can not be maintained in the name of the two complainants. The complainants were residents of the neighborhood; they bad friends hurled in the burying ground and were thus interested in preserving, for themselves and the public, the burying ground s it had been established, and we are of the opinion that they had the right to sue in behalf of themselves and others having a like interest. The bill was brought In, and In our judgment, prop erly, for the protection of the rights of the eople in that particular local ity, and we perceive no reason why it may not be maintained In the names of a part for the benefit of all, as well as if all directly interested had joined in the bill.' "In the case at bar the plaintiffs have a general interest as citizens of the community In which the cemetery is located, and have a special and pe culiar Interest because their parents, children and grandparents are. buried there. We think the circuit judge was clearly in error. The other point in volved here is decided In ex parte McColl, 68 S. ('., page 489. "The judgment of the circuit court is reversed.
