CHANcERY DECISION,

Chancellor SANFoRT Of New York pronounced
an important decision at Albany, on Monday, in the
case ofthe North River Steamboat Company against
JoHN r.. LIVINGSTON. The compliments, under
the law of New York granting ROBERT X. LIyINos-
TON and ROBERT FULTON an exclusive right TO
navigate with steamboats, all waters IN that state,
asked an injunction to restrain the defendant from
navigating the Olive Branch between the cities oil
Albany and New York. The defendant is the pos
SCISSOR of the steamboat Olive Branch; this boat is
now employed by him insnayigation and the trans
portation Of passengers between the cities OF New
York and Albany, and intermediate places. The
Olive Branch has been enrolled, and has license
for carrying on the coasting trade.
Chancellor SAN FORD decides, that the exclusive
grant to LIVINGSTON and Fulton so far as respects
the navigation of the waters oil New York from port
to port in that state, is still valid that the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United States, IN the
case of CIBBoN against OGDEN, goes only to destroy
the validity OF the New York grant to LIvINGs-
TON and FULTON so far as respects the navigation
of steamboats, from one state to another; that the
right Of all persons to navigate to or from another
state is now an established and absolute right, not
withstanding the exclusive New York grant; thai
if the Olive Branch had been confined in its trips
strictly to and from New York and Albany, the IN
junction 10 restrain her from thus navigating would
be granted but that il appearing that she touched
at Jersey City, in New Jersey, to land merchandise
he deemed il his duty to refuse the injunction
