New York v. Hichland

18 F. Cas. 137, 6 Ben. 289

Opinion

BLÁTCHFORD, District Judge.

I must overrule the exceptions to the libel in this case, on the ground that it does not appear, by the libel, that the pier named was part of the land, and was not a floating pier, while it is alleged, by the libel, that the pier was “within navigable waters from the ocean, and within the flow of tide water.”
