​M‘GLADERY. (Lieut., 1811. f-p., 43; h-p., 10.)
John M‘Gladery was born in Dec. 1776, near Dungannon, co. Tyrone.
This officer (who had been seven or eight years in the Merchant service) was impressed, 28 Nov. 1794, into the Navy, from the wreck of the ship Wildman, of London, and rated A.B., on board the Culloden 74, Capt. Thos. Troubridge; under whom, it appears, he was successively present in Hotham’s action 13 July, 1795, in the battle off Cape St. Vincent 14 Feb. 1797, at the ensuing attack upon Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, in the action off the Nile 1 Aug. 1798, and at the capture of Naples, Rome, Genoa, &c. He received a splinter-wound in the right eye in Hotham’s affair; experienced a similar injury in the St. Vincent achievement; and, being one of the landed party at Santa Cruz, was so severely hurt by a sabre-cut in the head as to be reported among the slain. Removing in Aug. 1800 to La Victorieuse 12, Capt. John Richards, he took part, in the capacity we believe of Quartermaster, in most of the operations connected with the campaign of 1801 in Egypt, from the landing of the troops in Aboukir Bay until the fall of Alexandria, including the reduction of Marabout Castle and a variety of boat skirmishes. In March, 1803, Mr. M‘Gladery, who had previously attained the rating of Midshipman, was transferred to the Foudroyant 80, in which ship, bearing the flags of Admirals Sir Thos. Graves, Sir John Borlase Warren, Albemarle Bertie, and Sir Wm. Sidney Smith, he served for upwards of five years, on thg Home, North American, Lisbon (whence he witnessed the flight of the Royal Family of Portugal), and Brazilian stations, he was present, 13 March, 1806, at the capture of the Marengo 80, bearing the flag of Admiral Linois, and 40-gun frigate Belle Poule. In Sept. 1803, on his arrival at the Cape of Good Hope in the Sylvia cutter, Lieut.-Commander Augustus Vere Drury, he was nominated, having passed his examination 5 Oct. 1805, Acting-Lieutenant of the Leopard 50, flag-ship of the above-named Admiral Bertie. Exchanging, in May, 1810, into the Otter sloop, Capt. Jas. Tomkinson, he witnessed, in the following Sept., the re-capture of H. M. S. Africaine, and the capture of the French frigate La Vénus and her prize the Ceylon 32; and on rejoining Admiral Bertie, shortly afterwards, in the Africaine, he co-operated in the reduction of the Isle of France and its dependencies, being on the occasion allowed to superintend the debarkation of the troops. Having unluckily mislaid his passing certificate, he was not confirmed in the rank of Lieutenant until 24 April, 1811; from which period he remained unemployed until the receipt of his present appointment in the Coast Guard 1 Nov. 1821.

Fanshawe, under whom he served as Midshipman until the close of 1781, witnessing during that period a hurricane that spread desolation over the whole of the Caribbean Islands and Jamaica, and totally dismantled the Egmont. In 1782 he joined the Proselyte frigate, Capt. John Brown, attached to the force on the Home station; and he was next, between 1783 and 1786, employed on the African and American coasts, and also in the North Sea, on board the Racehorse sloop, Capt.

He was confirmed a Lieutenant, 18 March, 1793, in the Helena sloop, Capt. Wm. Charlton; and on 18 of the following July he was transferred, from the Vestal 32, Capt. Jolm M‘Dougall, in which ship he had been again serving in the North Sea, to the ​Invincible 74, Capt. Hon. Thos. Pakenham; whom, after having participated in the actions of 29 May and 1 June, 1794, and risen to the post of First-Lieutenant, he followed in that capacity, in Sept. 1795, into the Juste 80. From the period of his promotion to the rank of Commander 22 May, 1797, until the peace of Amiens, Capt. M‘Gwire appears to have had under his orders the whole of the gun-boats employed in protecting the coast of Ireland; where he further, from Sept. 18033 until 1810, served in the Sea-Fencible establishment between Cork Head and Youghal. In Aug. of the latter year he was appointed to the superintendence (which he retained until Sept. 1814) of the Impress service at Waterford. He accepted his present rank 10 Sept. 1840.

# Railway Company v. Renwick/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
102 U.S. 180
Railway Company v. Renwick
Although the Supreme Court of Iowa decided that Congress, under the power to regulate commerce, had jurisdiction over the Mississippi River, and having exercised that power in the way specified in sect. 5254, Rev. Stat., all State legislation in conflict therewith was void, still the question remains, whether, if a riparian proprietor improves his property with a view to its use in connection with the river, without complying with this act of Congress, a railroad company, under the power of eminent domain granted by the State, can appropriate his improvements to its own use without his consent and without making him compensation. This, we think, is a Federal question giving us jurisdiction, but it is a question on which we do not care to hear argument. The controversy is not between the public and the riparian owner as to his right to keep up his improvements. The public does not complain, but the railroad company wants the improvements. In the hands of the company they will be just as much a nuisance, so far as the public is concerned, as they can be if kept up by the owner. As between these two parties the improvements are the property of the riparian proprietor, and if the company wants them for its own use it must make compensation. So the court below has decided, and to our minds its decision was clearly right. While in Iowa it has been held that the State owns the lands lying along the river between high and low water mark, care was taken in the act of March 18, 1874, to provide that it should not be lawful for any person or corporation to construct or operate any railroad or other obstruction between the shore and the river without compensation to the shore owners. The second section of the act is good, even though the first may conflict with what Congress had before done.
The motion to dismiss is denied, but that to affirm granted.
Judgment affirmed.
