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.
Hardin v. Shedd, 190 U.S. 508 (1903)
Hardin v. Shedd No. 66 Argued January 12, 1903 Decided May 18, 1903 190 U.S. 508
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
When the United States conveys land bounded on a nonnavigable lake, it assumes the position, so far as such conveyances are concerned, of a private owner, subject to the general law of the state in which the land is situate.
Since Hardin v. Jordan, 140 U.S. 371, the law of Illinois has been settled that conveyances of the upland on such lakes do not carry adjoining lands below the water line.
When land is conveyed by the United States on a nonnavigable lake the rules of law affecting the conveyance are different from those affecting a conveyance of land bounded on navigable waters.
The common law as understood by this Court and the local law of Illinois with regard to grants bounded by navigable waters are the same.
The case is stated in the opinion of the court.
