California Supreme Court September 13, 1897, 339 (City of Oakland v. Oakland Water Front Co.)

I am unable to agree with the,, conclusion reached by a majority of the court. The plaintiff brought this action to quiet its title as against the defendant to certain lands lying below the line of ordinary high tide of the bay of San. Francisco and the estuary of San. Antonio, and within the boundaries of the city of Oakland, as defined in the act incorporating said city, April 24, 1862.
