  Environmental Law 1
The patentee exercised exclusive acts of ownership over the river and its waters where the mill, dam and pond now are, from the time the first dam was erected; and the subsequent proprietors and possessors under him have continued to exercise the same ownership.

The distinguishing test between those rivers which are entirely private property, and those which are private property subject to the public use and enjoyment, consists in the fact, whether they are susceptible or not of use as a common passage for the public.
