Stryker v. Mayor
19 Johns. 179 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1821
This case is clearly distinguishable from that of Udall v. The Village of Brooklyn, just decided. The city and county of New-York includes the whole of the rivers and harbour, to actual low water mark, on the opposite shores; and although permanent , erections, such as wharves and store-houses, may, from time to time, vary the line of jurisdiction, yet it cannot be allowed that Brooklyn is to be extended by means of a floating vessel in the river.
Judgment affirmed.
