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.

Collie v. Fergusson No. 423 Argued January 13, 1930 Decided February 24, 1930 281 U.S. 52
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. R.S. § 4529, providing that the owner of any vessel making coastwise voyages who refuses or neglects to pay a seaman’s wages in the manner therein prescribed "without sufficient cause," shall pay the seaman a sum equal to two days’ pay for each day during which payment is delayed, does not apply where delay in payment is due to the insolvency of the owner and the arrest of the vessel subject to accrued claims beyond its value. P. 54.
2. Evidence in an admiralty suit not reviewed when sufficient to support the concurrent action of two courts below. P. 57.
3. Seamen who appealed unsuccessfully to the circuit court of appeals from a decree in admiralty properly denying their claims to payment of double wages for waiting time from the proceeds of a vessel held entitled to two-thirds of the costs in that court because payment of wages from such proceeds, adjudged in their favor, was withheld through a suspension of the decree pending the appeal, ordered by the district court at the instance of their opponents, who took no cross-appeal. P. 57.
31 F.2d 1010 modified and affirmed.
Certiorari, 280 U.S. 547, to review a decree of the circuit court of appeals affirming a decree in admiralty.
