FOREST AND STREAM.

benefit which can be drawn from the use of private waters be- 

 longs to the private owners, and no one but the owners have any 

 right to go upou or to use them for any purpose whatever— with- 

 out license from the owner. But where waters are public there 

 is no part of the open water from which the riparian owner can 

 exclude the public, and while he can make such ereotions and 

 appropriations near the shore as will not interfere with the public 

 convenience, he can not prevent the public from using any part 

 of the water not so shut off. So long as the water is open the 

 riparian owner's rights in the bed away from the shore are purely 

 theoretical and valueless. He can do nothing to impair navigation 

 or any of its incidents. * * * 



All of our great lakes and their connecting waters have been 

 declared as well as used as public navigable waters, and are such 

 in their entirety, * * * In considering the respective rights 

 claimed to exist in this case, therefore, we have nothing to do 

 with the questions which arise in private waters. * * * Assum- 

 ing all that was claimed as to ownership of the bottom of the 

 lake or bay, there is no ground for Claiming the place of occur- 

 rence is not open to the public, and therefore to the defendent for 

 all the incidents of boating and navigation. And this being so, 

 there is not. as 1 conceive, any rule of law which deprived defend- 

 ant of the right of taking or killing there any wild creature of air 

 or water. * * * It should not be forgotten that the usages on 

 our public waters, especially as to shooting and fishing, existed 

 under the French custom for nearly a century, and it would 

 hardly be consistent with our Institutions to subject our people 

 to any less liberal usages than those which were not only tolerated 

 but favored under a very despotic government.. The common law 

 which we inherit is the common law untainted by feudalism or 

 royal pierogative, and if we eliminate these elements and their 

 statutory modifications, this ease presents no difficulties. * * * 

 According to all the elementary common law writers no one had 

 any interest whatever in any wild creature of earth, air or water 

 uutil he had taken it into his own keeping, alive or dead, and then 

 only so long as it did not escape from his custody. * * * The 

 American cases do not favor any doctrine which would restrict 

 rights on public waters, and we can not shut our eyes to the uni- 

 form usages in our own waters, which we are bound to respect. 

 If the present action will lie it must follow that there is not any 

 stream or water in the State open to public fowling or fishing. 

 There is no difference in principle or authorit y between fish and 

 fowl. * * * 



There was never any principle or practice which confined rights 

 of travel on highways by land or by water to commercial purposes. 

 Boats and vehicles are as lawfully used for pleasure and recrea- 

 tion as for any other purposes. * * * If a person, who has a 

 right to be where he is, cannot lawfully take there what any of 

 the public own when captured and not before, the reason is be- 

 yond the common understanding. It is no concern of the borderer 

 on a highway what any other person does upon it, if he neither 

 encroaches on the soil nor is guilty of any public or private nuis- 

 ance. Even a riparian proprietor does not own the water which 

 flows over his land. His soil, if he has any, is whore no boat can 

 injure it. It is not as a riparian owner that plaintiff complains 

 here. He claims the bed without owning very much of the banks. 

 But no harm is pretended to his upland interests. There is noth- 

 ing that can sustain trespass. 



It is not decisive in this case, perhaps, but it is of some signifi- 

 cance that our Legislature has attempted to regulate sporting and 

 fishing, and has made provision by money and by other means for 

 propagating fish. It is at least questional de whether tlvis can law- 

 fully be done in aid of interests which on the theory of this case 

 are all private. We cannot attribute to them any such purpose, 

 and it would not be tolerated. There has been some legislation 

 that is capable of oppressive application, and it was probably got 

 through m some cases for sinister purposes. In my opinion this 

 case is not sustainable on any theory of the common law or of 

 any other law, and the judgment should he reversed. 



The above opinion is clearly and strongly set forth, 

 and is diametrically in opposition to the just as clear and 

 able opinion of Judge Chaplain. How, after hearing both 

 sides of a question so thoroughly expounded as was 

 this one, there should be such a diversity of opinion 

 among the "learned judges," is certainly a wonderment 

 to the uninformed. It is said that Judge Morse, the other 

 dissenting justice, goes even further in the same direction 

 than does Justice Campbell. If these opinions are based 

 upon the fundamental principles of law, either one 6ide 

 or the other must have looked at them through the "butt 

 end of the glass," and they by no means suggest infalli- 

 bility or unanimity of the Supreme Court upon questions 

 of common law. The Liberal Club, we are mformed, has 

 raised $1,500 and expended $1,300 in the prosecution of 

 this suit, and in view of the opinion of Justices Campbell 

 and Morse, we are further informed, they will try to get 

 their case before the Supreme Court of the United States, 

 even if they have to go over the ground again.— Monroe 

 (Mich.) Democrat.
