Encyclopedia Britannica



ALLUVION (Lat. alluvio, washing against)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 710 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALLUVION (Lat. alluvio, washing against) , a word taken from Roman law, in which it was one of the examples of accessio, that is, acquisition of property without any act being done by the acquirer. It signifies the
gradual
  accretion of land or formation of an
island
  by imperceptible degrees. If the accretion or formation be by a torrent or flood, the property in the severed portion or new
island
  continues with the
original
  owner until the trees, if any, swept away with it take root in the ground. Alluvion never attached at all in the case of agri limitati, that is, lands belonging to the state and leased or sold in plots. Dig. xli. 1, 7, is the main authority. English law is in general agreement (except as to agri limitati) with Roman, as appears from the judgment in Foster v.
Wright
 , 1878, 4 C.P.D. 438. The Scottish law, as laid down by the
House
  of Lords in
Earl
  of Zetland v.
Glover
  Incorporation, 1872, L.R. 2 H.L., Sc., 70, is in accordance with the English. (See WATER RIGHTS.)
