112. The question of whether land under navigable water could be
transfered by the proprietor was eventually settled in Browne v.
Kennedy. 5 H. & J. 195, 203 (Md. 1821). There the court determined
that the 1700 transfer of Todd's Range effectively transferred the
bed of the navigable stretches of the Jones Falls to Charles
Carroll, the Settler, subject to the right of the public to fish
and navigate.

113 . Such questions were still before the Maryland Court of Appeals
two hundred years later. See Board of Public Works v. Larmar Corp.,
277 A. 2d 427 (Md. 1971).
