7991. The shore and the bed of the ocean or of any navigable
channel or stream or bay or inlet within the State, between ordinary
high and low water mark, over which the ordinary tide ebbs and flows
is hereby withheld from sale.

7992. If any person, under any pretense of any claim inconsistent
with the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the State, intrudes upon any

of the county shall immediately report the intrusion to the Governor,
who shall thereupon, by a written order, direct the sheriff of the

people.

7993. When State lands, upon which the full purchase price has not
been paid, have been sold to the State for delinquent taxes and the
deed therefor to the State has been forwarded to and filed with the

in the same manner, and subject to the same conditions, as apply to
State lands of like character.
