BARRON V. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE
32 U.S. 243 (1833)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal of a state appellate court decision reversing a
trial court's award of damages.
FACTS: In the course of street construction work, the city diverted the flow of streams,
causing deposit of sand and earth near Barron's wharf, so that the water there was too
shallow for most vessels. Barron sued, claiming that the state's action violated the Fifth
Amendment guarantee that private property shall not be 'taken for public use, without just
compensation.'
