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.

Arnold v. Hatch No. 183 Argued March 14, 1900 Decided April 9, 1900 177 U.S. 276
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
A farmer made an arrangement with his son under which it was agreed that the latter should undertake the management of the farm, farm implements, and livestock, make all repairs, pay all taxes and other expenses, sell the products of the farm, replace all implements as they wore out, keep up all livestock, and have as his own the net profits. It was further agreed that each party should be at liberty to terminate the arrangement at any time, and that the son should return to his father the farm with its implements, stock and other personalty, of the same kind and amount as was on the farm when the father retired, and as in good condition as when he took it. Held that no sale of the farm property was intended, that the title to the same remained in the father, and that the property was not subject to execution by creditors of the son.
This was an intervening petition by the defendant in error, Lewis Hatch, filed in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, in the case of Joseph G. Heim, Receiver v. Frank W. Hatch, praying for the release by the marshal and a return to petitioner of a large amount of cattle and other farm property alleged to belong to him, and levied upon by the marshal as the property of Frank W. Hatch.
The cause originated in an action begun in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, by Joseph G. Heim, as receiver of the First National Bank of Southbend, Washington, against Frank W. Hatch, to enforce against the defendant an individual liability as a stockholder of the bank, which had become insolvent. Defendant having made default, a judgment was rendered against him in the sum of $4,351.09 and costs, for which an execution was issued and levied upon the cattle and other farm property in dispute. Whereupon Lewis Hatch, the father of Frank W. Hatch, filed this petition, to which the plaintiff in error, John W. Arnold, Marshal for the Northern District of Illinois, made answer, denying the petitioner’s ownership of the property, and admitting his levy upon it as the property of Frank W. Hatch.
The case came on for trial before a jury, and resulted in a verdict for the petitioner, upon which judgment was entered. On writ of error from the circuit court of appeals, this judgment was affirmed. 89 F. 1013. Whereupon plaintiff in error, Arnold, sued out a writ of error from this Court.
