WILLIS.\n(Filed 1 October, 1919.)\nEntry \u2014 Navigable Waters \u2014 Riparian Owners \u2014 Wharfage\u2014Statutes.\nNavigable water is not subject to entry (Rev., sec. 1693) except by tbe riparian owner for wharfage purposes. Rev., see. 1696.\nAppeal by defendant from Daniels, J., at June Term, 1919, of CARTERET.\nThis is a protest to an entry.\nThe enterer went in front of prot\u00e9stanos lots and attempted to fill in-navigable water by building sand fences, and then laid his entry.\nOn the trial the following judgment was rendered:\nThis cause coming on to be heard before his Honor F. A. Daniels, judge, and a jury, at the conclusion of the plaintiff\u2019s evidence the pro-testan! asked the court- to rule that upon his testimony the land was, at the time of filing his entry, covered by water at average tide, both before he built the sand fences and since they have been removed. The enterer admitted that he was not the riparian owner, that the land entered was covered by water at average tide, and that the sand fences that had been built prior to the entry had been removed, and that it was now navigable -water. The court so held and dismissed the entry.\nIt is therefore considered and adjudged by the court that the enterer is not entitled -to maintain the entry, is not entitled to a grant, that the entry is invalid and void, and that enterer pay the costs, to be taxed by the clerk. F. A. DaNiels,\nJudge Presiding.\nThe enterer excepted and appealed.\nR. R. Qorlvam and D. L. Ward attorneys for protestant.\nJulius F. Duncan attorney for enterer."
