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 EIGHTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Where a carrier accepts a check for the amount of freight charges, and a loss is suffered as a result of its unjustifiable delay in presenting it, the bank in the meantime having failed, the question whether the shipper is relieved of liability depends upon the general law applicable to payment by check, and not upon any provision of the Interstate Commerce Act. P. 521.
36 F.2d 180 reversed
Certiorari, 281 U.S. 709, to review a judgment of the circuit court of appeals which affirmed a judgment of the district court in favor of the railroad company in an action to recover freight charges.
