General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA
Syllabus
1. A judgment of a state supreme court sustaining a state statute and a city ordinance imposing taxes over the objection that, as construed and applied, they are repugnant to a law of the United States is reviewable here by writ of error. P. 637.
2. Where the state court omits to find the facts relevant to a question of federal law, it is the duty of this Court to examine the evidence on the subject. P. 638.
3. In the provision of Rev.Stats., § 5219, respecting state taxation of shares of national banks, that it "shall not be at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizen of such state," the words "moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens " include bonds, notes, and other evidences of indebtedness in the hands of individuals which are shown to come materially into competition with the national banks in the loan market. P. 638.
124 Va. 522 reversed; application for writ of certiorari denied.
The case is stated in the opinion.
