th 44 case came before his Lordship upon appeal from
,:evs,ituedrgent of the Master of the Rolls, overruling m-
at-11'4°4 taken by ,the Corporation of London to thed
to Ines report,. finding that the defendants were bound
th 'Ke a discovery of their alleged title to the banks .
s° river Thames, and ordering an inspection of their
;tillers and papers. The information was filed in the
411!. 1844 by her Majesty's then Attorney-General
L":l'est the Mayor and Commonalty of the City of
es- 41°e, the town clerk, and William Cubitt, Sir Tho-
-43 Turton, J. 0. Hanson, W. G. Prescott, Sir
tOirteeay Boyle, J. P. Reich, and J. Cornelius Park,
of;,'4Bt, seven as lessees of portions of the soil and bed
ter Thames, und,r lease. 4 granted by the Corporation
eithkeendon, whereupon they had erected wharfs and
attrchMents, which were stated to be common
14,14°es and obstructions to the navigation of her
five„, subjects, and to the low of the
prt„-,," The information stated that by the royal
of-t'h°Rative the ground and soil of the coasts and shores
kicre seas, creeks, and navigable rivers in the kingdom,
et, bout it, belonged of right to the Crown; that the
ierlr.i.l the King's highway for all subjects; that by pre-
th,Puon or some grant the corporation had' exercised
au (Ikea bailiff or conservator, whose duty it was to
kis' to the navigation aid prevent obstructions or nui-
thbatce.s in the river, and to regulate the fishing thereof ;
or; tne corporation thereby acquired no right, or estate,
the'llterest in the ground and soil of the bed or shores of
oe,",„river between high and low water mark ; that the
sali),rtition had, notwithstanding, of late claimed, in
. -"n to the exercise of the right of bailiff, or con-
lirvator t b seized or entitled to the freehold of the
to.. o seiz
"41, bed, and soil of the river and of the. shores. be-
eoneeil high and low water mark, within the limits of the
eet-,,4er,,rancy of the Thames, assumed the exercise of
pr; °L Ownership over it, and had made grants of it to
th„-°ll3 having land or wharfs on the banks adjacent
ts,e°e, to embank it, and build on such soil and bed of
placeiver between high and low water mark, at different
rsnds on the river—namely, at the Isle of Dogs, at Dur-
tl47'4 Wharf, Rotherhithe, and at Battersea Marsh ;
the' °l4hankments and buildings were, in consequence of
ktise leases, built or building, which would be a common
itef:lce and prevent the free flow of the river. The
etl;„,-Tatt7b charged the corporation with having re-
titl a considerable sum of money in the way of fines
ee rents'w from such lessees; but refused to give the
tender account thereof; and the lessees set up a pre-
Thee"; claim of right to execute such embankments.

taeeo,4 Pitent by any of her Majesty's predecessors,
hoe Or Queens, had con:eined any grant of the soil or
Derit°! sgores of the Thames, and charged that the cor-
whntl°o ought to discover and set forth under and by
ie charter or letters patent they claimed such freehold
