STATE BOUNDARIES OF CoNNEOTtoUT.

HANTFORD, SCpt 70 1911.
Judge Snlpman has, with the concurrence OF
Judge Woodruff, given an opinion with regard to
the southern boundaries OF Connecticut, tnaL the
State extends to straight line from Fishers Island
to Lyons Point. including all the sla nds contigu-
ous to the Connecticut shore within her limits. In
view OF this decision Connecticut has jurisdiction
over ALL or nearly all, the islands of the sound west
OF Fishers Island AMI east Of Lyons Point, and also
all those between Fishers Island ami the Connecli-
cut shore, together with those east OF Fishers
Island and contiguous TO the same shore. THIS
opinion shows that New iork, except In one in-
s.ance, has never made any claim TO The contrary,
aud that that claim was founded upon a construc.
tion OF the descriptive clause OF the charter OF
Charles H. TO Connect lcut a construction which
was promptly repeiled by Connecticut ana aban-
