General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Central R. Co. Of New Jersey v. Jersey City, 209 U.S. 473 (1908)
Central Railroad Company of New Jersey v. Jersey City No. 203 Argued April 15, 16, 1908 Decided April 27, 1908 209 U.S. 473
ERROR TO THE COURT OF ERRORS AND
APPEALS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY
Syllabus
"Jurisdiction," as generally used in compacts between states, has a more limited sene than "sovereignty."
Under the agreement of 1833 between the States of New York and New Jersey, 4 Stat. 708, while exclusive jurisdiction is given to New York over the water of the Hudson River west of the boundary line fixed by the agreement, the land under such water remained subject to the sovereignty of New Jersey, and the jurisdiction given to New York over the water does not exclude the sovereign power of New Jersey to tax such land, nor does an exercise of that power deprive the owner of the land of his property without due process of law.
This Court, in construing a compact between states, will hesitate to reach a conclusion different from that reached by the highest court of both states.
43 Vroom 311 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
