San Mateo Waterworks v. Sharpstein

Supreme Court of California
Jul 1, 1875

         OPINION          By the Court:

         The taking in this case amounts to a taking of private property for public use in the sense in which that phrase is used in the Constitution, and can only be effected upon the conditions prescribed in the Constitution--that is, upon just compensation being simultaneously made.

         Order annulled.
