COURT FINDS CITY owns
BAY SIDE Of CONEY ISLAND
Appeal Will PrOlOng Litigation
as to Many Dispdted
Land Titles.

Supreme Court Justice Crane in Brook
lyn yesterday handed down decision
regarding titles to lands on the Gravesend
Pay side of Coney Island. including Sea
Gate in which he finds that Gravesend
Bay is not landlocked harbor. hut is
part of New York harbor. and that the
titles TO the property in dispute were
got from the State by grant. He holds
that the State could give no title by grant,
but that the property descended from the
Dutch and English Governors by patent
to the town of Gravesend and that the
city became the successor in title when
the town of Gravesend became a part
of the city through consolidation.
The present action came up more than
six months ago through an order by Dock
Commissioner Tomkins stopping Edward
l.. Sommerville and Louis Gottlieb from
bulkheading land claimed by them slong
Gravesend Bay. 30 as to fill in all the
land back Of the bulkhead and develop
it. Injunction proceedings were started
by Sommerville and Gottlieb to restrain
Commissioner Tomkins from interference
1t developed on the trial that the real
question at issue was whether the land
under water in Gravesend Pay belonged
to the State of New York and its sue
cessors in title or to the city of New York
as the successor in title to the old town
of Gravesend,
Justice Crane says that, although the
city has heretofore treated this prop
erty as belonging to persons deriving
, title from the State and has taxed it,
this fact does not act as an estoppel and
prevent the city making claim to owner
ship in this proceeding.
An appeal is to be taken. and it is not
expected that the litigation will be ended
within a year.

After il was begun the wife expressed
her determination to 60 through with It.
Policeman Garvey Of the East Thirtieth
street station was summoned to the
Office of the corporation yesterday after
noon by an Office boy. who said q man

Garvey told the man that he could not
arrest the woman. There was nothing

that il Marshall wanted to take his wife

sufficient to support her. She then an
nounced that she would bring counter
charges. An effort was made TO find
