No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Sanderson
By the Court, Sanderson, C. J.
The refusal of the Court to allow the plaintiff to prove by oral testimony that the land in controversy was not swamp and overflowed within - the meaning of the Act of Congress ceding the swamp and overflowed lands within their borders to the several States, was error. (Kyle v. Tubbs, 23 Cal. 432 ; Kernan v. Griffith, 27 Cal. 87.)
Judgment reversed and new trial ordered.
