Opinion

Hooker, J.

In 1853 there existed in Saginaw Bay an island called “Maisou,” which had never been surveyed. In that year a- survey of this island was made by the government, and it was sold in 1868. A copy of the plat which was made by the surveyor is attached to this opinion,1 whereby it is shown that the surveyor found land lying to the eastward of Maisou island, which, he denominated “Wet Marsh,” and apparently did not survey. It appears upon the plat as two small islands. These islands now constitute a part of a somewhat extensive stretch of land and shallows, known as the “Middle [230]*230Ground,” shown by a map filed herewith,1 and which is claimed by the State, but occupied by the defendant Warner, who is the admitted owner of Maisou island.

By Act No. 66, Pub. Acts 1891, the Middle Ground is made a public hunting and shooting ground. An effort was made by the State, in 1885, to induce the authorities at Washington to survey this Middle Ground, and issue a patent to the State, under the swamp-land act of 1850; and a survey of some sort was made by a federal surveyor, named Strudwick. The defendant Warner intervened, and made claim to the Middle Ground as an accretion to Maisou island; and, upon the other hand, the State claimed title to the newly-found land as accretions
