S. 808 </a> </p> <p> </p> <p> Appeal from a final decree of the district court of three judges enjoining the appellants from interfering with the flows of water in part of a canal in such manner as to infringe certain water rights claimed by the appellee. </p> <p> MR. JUSTICE STONE delivered the opinion of the Court. </p> <p> This is a direct appeal, under § 266 of the Judicial Code, from a final decree, following an interlocutory decree, of a district court of three judges for southern Ohio enjoining appellants, the State Director of Highways, the Superintendent of Public Works of Ohio, and county commissioners, from draining or otherwise interfering with the flow of water in a section of the Miami & Erie Canal in such manner as to interfere with the rights of appellee to take surplus water under a grant from the state to appellees' predecessor in interest. The questions presented are the same as those in No. 674, <em> Kirk v. Maumee Valley Electric Co., ante, </em> p. 797, the only difference being in the nature of the grant under which appellee derives its rights to the water. </p> <p> The grant here involved is embraced in an indenture of September 1, 1842, between the commissioner of the board of public works and one Minor, as readjusted on February 23, 1846. By it, Minor, a riparian owner, released and quitclaimed to the state all claims against it arising out of the use and occupation by the state of water from the Maumee River and of lands used in the construction and operation of the Wabash & Erie Canal, </p> <p> <a class="page-number" id="809"> Page 279 U. S. 809 </a> </p> <p> now the Miami & Erie. This release was made in consideration of a perpetual grant by the state, made after the passage of the Act of March 23, 1840, 38 Ohio Laws, p. 87, discussed at length in our opinion in No. 674, <em> Kirk v. Maumee Valley Electric Co., supra. </em> By the grant, the state sold and conveyed a specified quantity of water "except when otherwise necessary for the navigation of the canal," and the contract, as readjusted, was similarly restricted. The grant was subject to the limitations of the statute of 1840, and the rights conferred under it did not, for present purposes, differ from those considered in No. 674. They were likewise subject to the reserved power of the state to abandon the canal and devote it to other purposes, which was exercised by the Act of the Ohio Legislature of May 11, 1927, 112 Ohio Laws, p. 360. For the reasons discussed at length in No. 674, and equally applicable here, the judgment below is </p> <p> <em> Reversed. </em> </p> <br/> <br/> </div></body></html>', 'observations' => null, 'overruledby' => null, 'prhistory' => null, 'pubs' => null, 'ratiodecidendi' => null, 'respondent' => 'Providence Mill Co.', 'sub' => null, 'link' => '/cases/federal/us/279/807/', 'circuit' => null ) ) $args = array( (int) 0 => '95077' ) $pattern = '/\(((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[.](0[1-9]|1[012])[.](17|18|19|20)[0-9]{2}).*\)/' $shops2 = nullinclude - APP/View/Case/meta.ctp, line 39 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 963 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 109
