Vermont filed an original jurisdiction action against New York and other parties before the Supreme Court, and the Court appointed a Special Master to conduct supplemental proceedings and gather evidence to resolve the dispute. The Court granted Vermont's motion to file a bill of complaint and authorized the Special Master to direct the subsequent litigation, call witnesses, and issue subpoenas, with costs to be apportioned among the parties as the Court would later determine.
