Narrative:
I was working local control; runway 13L and runway 22L and also class B airspace. Ground was swamped; so I was coordinating waiting areas for various arrival aircraft. I accepted a handoff from ewr tower on a cessna in the area of the verrazano bridge. I was giving a position relief briefing when the cessna checked in. I advised him to continue. I mentioned the aircraft in the briefing to the relieving controller but may not have been clear enough. This aircraft entered the class B airspace and flew directly into the departure corridor. I don't know if ewr had given him a clearance into the class B and I am certain that we did not.
