The City of Cohoes, Appellant v. the President, Managers and Company of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company…

Summary

The Court held that Van Rensselaer Street was dedicated as a public highway in 1853, that the 1861 statute and the city’s width‑determination requirement did not defeat the claim, and therefore the injunction to restrain the railroad’s additional track was maintainable, reversing the lower court’s judgment.
