New York Court of Appeals
The Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Company, Appellant v. Henry Bachman
May 23, 187666 N.Y. 261
Summary
The Court reversed the judgment of the General Term, holding that the portion of Niagara Street west of Canal Street was not a public highway because the owners' reservation prevented an absolute dedication, and that the village superintendent's declarations were inadmissible. Accordingly, a new trial was ordered.
