Per Curiam:

The evidence of the plaintiff shows that she has no legal cause of action against the defendants. The natural flow of water, from a higher onto a lower lot, cannot as a general rule give a cause of action to one injured thereby. There is nothing proved in this case to take it out of the general rule. There was no error in directing a nonsuit on the unquestioned evidence of the plaintiff.

Judgment affirmed.
