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.

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. To warrant reversal of a decision of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico on construction of local statutes the error must be manifest; the interpretation must be inescapably wrong; the decision must be patently erroneous. P. 470.
2. The Circuit Court of Appeals erred in overruling the following conclusions of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, construing Island statutes, viz.,
(a) That under § 9 of Act No. 102, 1925, an uninsured employer could have an award of the Workmen’s Relief Commission reviewed, including the issue whether or not he was insured. Pp. 465, 471.
(b) That in place of the provision of § 7 of that Act for collection by the Attorney General of awards made against uninsured employers, amendatory legislation had substituted collection by the Treasurer. Pp. 466, 472.
(c) That the Treasurer had power of distraint. Pp. 468, 472.
102 F.2d 710 reversed; 52 P.R.Dec. 658; 53 id. 475, affirmed.
Review by certiorari, post, p. 538, of a judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals which reversed the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico in a suit to enjoin the Treasurer of the Island from enforcing by distraint orders of the Puerto Rico Workmen’s Relief Commission.
