Those rivers must , be regarded as public navigable rivers in law which are navigable in fact . ( -And And And ) they are navigable in fact when they are used , or are susceptible of being used , in their ordinary condition , as highways for commerce , over ( which -which which ) trade and travel are or may be conducted in the customary modes of trade and travel on water . Other cases which adhere to the statement of the law of navigability as declared in The Daniel Ball case are The Montello , 20 Wall . 430 ; 441 , 443 ; ( United Uitited ) States v .

All of these cases limit navigability in fact and hence navigability in law to those streams ( which -which which ) in their ordinary condition may be termed highways of commerce over which trade and travel are or ( may miay ) be conducted in the customary modes of trade and travel ( on oil ) water .
