Dedication—Highway—Landing and Wharf —Evidence of an intention to dedicate land to one public use does not imply an intention to dedicate it to an entirely different use; and proof of the dedication of a highway to and from a landing outside of a town or city does not establish dedication of the land to public use for landing and wharfage purposes, even though the highway may be identical in situation and area with the landing.

Id.—Dedication of' Landing and Wharf, How Shown—Exclusive Uses of Public.—To constitute a dedication of land for a wharf or landing place on the shore of navigable waters, there must be an intentional abandonment thereof by the owner to the use of the public exclusively, and not a mere use by the public in connection with a user by the owners in such measure as they may desire.

Id.—Prescriptive Right, not Obtainable by Public.—The public cannot acquire a right by prescription or custom to land on the shore of a navigable stream and unload freight thereon, and thus encumber the land, independently of any dedication thereof by the owner to exclusive use by the. public.

Id.—Dedication not Presumed from User—Evidence.—The dedication of a wharf or landing to public use cannot be presumed as a mere inference from prescriptive user thereof by the public, but should be proved either by writing or by public and unequivocal declarations or acts; and the evidence of public user is good only to show that a dedication by the owner has been accepted and enjoyed by the public, and to corroborate and explain other evidence or probabilities.

Id.—Intention of Owner Essential—Unauthorized Acts of Agent.— Dedication must be made by the owner of the land, and his intention to dedicate it must be made to appear in the facts or circumstances of the particular case; and it cannot be inferred from any unauthorized acts or declarations of an agent in charge of the land.

Id.—Agency to Reclaim Land—Authority to Dedicate not Implied.— The appointment by the owner of an agent to carry out the reclamation of land, and to manage the same, does not imply any authority to the agent to dedicate any portion of the land to the public for wharves or landings.
