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.
California v. Deseret Water, Oil & Irrig. Co., 243 U.S. 415 (1917)
California v. Deseret Water, Oil & Irrigation Company No. 269 Argued January 29, 1917 Decided March 26, 1917 243 U.S. 415
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Syllabus
When the decision of the state court in the application of state laws to real property is controlled by a construction of federal statutes concerning the title, which were relied on by the party complaining, this Court has jurisdiction to review the judgment.
When a forest reservation is made to include a school section previously surveyed, the state may waive its right to the section and select other lands in lieu, under §§ 2275, 2276, Rev.Stats., as amended by the Act of March 3, 1891, c. 384, 26 Stat. 796.
This Court will not readily disturb a construction of a land law by the Land Department which, though differing from an earlier one, has been adopted on full consideration and long consistently adhered to by the Department, and upon the faith of which large acreages have been acquired and large expenditures have been made.
167 Cal. 147 reversed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
