POTOMAC. FLATS CASE.
Mr. Taggart Commences His Argu-

Mr. Taggart Commences His Argu-
M eHt for the Government.
AIr. Randall Webb, for the Easily estate,
and for L. A. LittIefiAld, completed his
argument yesterday i'll the Potomac Flats
case and Assistant District Attorney Tag
gartna an argument showing the govern
ment's right to the control of the privileges
claimed for the Easbys.
Mr.. Webb said the United States Supreme
Court had decided that the proprietors, be-
fore the city was laid out, possessed wharf
and other water privileges. This was in
the case of the Potomac Steamboat Com
pany VS.. the Upper Potomac Company, and
under this decision the Easily claimants have
a right to river front on squares l 2, %,
63, 50 and 129. The first two originally
borCicred on the Potomac, although the
records OF the register of squares show
Water street in trout of them and the
riparian rights of the last three can not
be claimed by the C. & o. Canal Company,
because the company had never got from
Maryland any right of way through them,
nor acquired any title to them in any other
way.
He also opposed the Kidwell and the
Marshall claims.
Mr.. Taggart, in answer, reasserted the
contentious made against other riparian
claimants.
