New York Supreme Court February 15, 1872 (Swett v. City of Troy)

Ingalls, J.

The bridge in question is being constructed by the city of Troy, for public purposes, and within the limits of said city, upon one of the streets thereof) designated upon the map of said city, and no portion of the plaintiff’s land is touched or taken. I am unable to distinguish this case in principle, from Ely v. City of Rochester (26 Barb., 134).
