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.

United States v. Dickinson No. 362 Argued January 4, 5, 1909 Decided April 5, 1909 213 U.S. 92
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
Syllabus
The writ of certiorari cannot be granted under the Act of March 3, 1891, c. 517, 26 Stat. 826, in a criminal case at the instance of the United States whatever the supposed importance of the questions involved. United States v. Sanges, 144 U.S. 310, distinguished.
The power of this Court to issue the writ of certiorari under § 14 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, now § 716, Rev.Stat., is not a grant of appellate jurisdiction to review for correction of mere error.
The Act of March 2, 1907, c. 2564, 34 Stat. 1246, giving an appeal to the government in certain criminal cases cannot be extended beyond its terms, or construed so as to extend the power of certiorari under the Act of March 3, 1891, c. 517, 26 Stat. 826, to bring up a criminal case for the correction of mere error at the instance of the United States.
Certiorari to review 159 F. 801 dismissed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
