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.

Nugent v. Arizona Improvement Company No. 119 Argued and submitted January 10-11, 1899 Decided February 20, 1899 173 U.S. 338
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE TERRITORY OF ARIZONA
Syllabus
Under the Act of March 8, 1895, of the Legislature of the Territory of Arizona, relating to convict labor and the leasing of the same, the board of control thereby created and given charge of all charitable, penal and reformatory institutions then existing, or which might thereafter be created in the territory, could not dispense with the bond required by the statute to be given by the person or persons leasing the labor of the convicts for the faithful performance of their contract, and no contract made by the board leasing the labor of the convicts could become binding upon the territory until a bond, such as the statute required, was executed by the lessee and approved by the board.
In this case, as it appears that no such bond was executed, the plaintiff was not in a position to ask relief by mandamus.
The case is stated in the opinion.
