Shopa

In old records, a shop. Cowell. SHORE (Lat. litus. Uttus). Land on the margin of the sea, or a lake, or river. That space of. land which is alternately covered and left dry by the rising and falling of the tide; the space between high and low water marks. Hale de Jur. Mar. par. 1. c. 6; Angell, Tide Waters, 67, c. 3; 8 Mich. 27. See "Seashore." The shore of a fresh water river is where the land and water ordinarily meet. 6 Cow. (N. Y.) 547. But this is more properly called the "bank" (ripa). A river in which the tide does not ebb and flow has no "shores," in the legal sense of the term. Walworth, C, 4 Hill (N. Y.) 375. And a lake without tides cannot properly be said to have a shore. Angell, Tide Waters, ubi supra. And see 3 Grat. (Va.) 655; 13 How. (U. S.) 391.
