New York Court of Appeals

Charles H. Johnson, Respondent v. Samuel B. Grenell, Appellant

May 10, 1907188 N.Y. 407

Summary

The Court affirmed the appellate court's order granting the respondent title to the boulevard fronting his lot and the associated riparian rights, subject only to a public easement. It held that the grantor's deed, read with the map, conveyed the entire roadbed and riparian interests despite ambiguous dimensions.
