New York Court of Appeals February 5, 1895 (Waller v. . State)

Peckham, J.

I think that the Board of Claims has erred in its award in this case. The facts set forth in the above statement seem to me to show beyond controversy that the state never intended to, and, in fact, never has appropriated and taken possession as owner of all the waters of Skaneateles lake, as against all the riparian owners, below the dam down to Seneca river.
