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.

New Orleans & Northeastern Railroad Company v. National Rice Milling Company No. 615 Argued February 27, 1914 Decided May 25, 1914 234 U.S. 80
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA
Syllabus
Where the judgment of a state court rests upon an independent ground not only adequate to sustain it, but in entire harmony with an asserted federal right, there is no denial of that right in the sense contemplated by § 237 of the Judicial Code, and the writ of error will be dismissed.
Where the initial carrier sets up the Carmack Amendment and also denies negligence, but the state court finds from conflicting evidence that the loss was occasioned by the negligence of the connecting carrier, the judgment rests on that finding as an independent ground, and this Court has not jurisdiction.
A party is entitled to the benefit of all the testimony in the case from whatever source it comes, and although having the burden of proof, need not prove any fact otherwise established.
Writ of error to review 132 La. 615 dismissed.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of this Court to review the judgment of a state court within § 237, Judicial Code, are stated in the opinion.
