Dalrymple v. Mead
Dalrymple v. Mead
1 Grant 197; 1856 Pa. LEXIS 237
Dalrymple v. Mead
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered
— We think that the general law of navigable rivers, relating to the rights of people passing along them with their rafts, and occupying their eddies and landings, was properly explained by the court to the jury. If there is any special custom which sanctions a different rule for the present case, it has not become known to us, and cannot be admitted as part of the ease, without being proved, like other facts. None such having been proved, we can say nothing about its validity.
Judgment affirmed.
