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.

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
A jurisdictional appeal, directly to this Court from the district court under § 238 of the Judicial Code, will not lie where the question of jurisdiction presented and decided involved only principles common to courts in general, and not the jurisdiction of the district court as a federal court. P. 173.
Whether the allegations of a bill are adequate to justify the relief sought is not a question of jurisdiction. Id.
Where the jurisdiction of the district court is invoked against nonresident defendants under Jud.Code § 57 to enforce a lien on property within the district claimed to result from a contract between them and the plaintiff, a decision quashing service by publication, followed by a judgment dismissing the bill upon the ground that the contract alleged create no lien upon or right in rem in such property, does not involve the jurisdiction of the court a a federal court. Id.Chase v. Wetzlar, 225 U.S. 79, distinguished.
Questions arising under the Constitution are not presented in this case. P. 174.
Appeal dismissed.
