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.
Kinney v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 222 U.S. 283 (1911)
Kinney v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company No. 64 Motion to dismiss or affirm Submitted December 4, 1911 Decided December 18, 1911 222 U.S. 283
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Where the effect of the denial of plaintiff’s motion for judgment is simply to postpone consideration of the subject until the trial, plaintiff’s interests are not prejudiced, and there cannot be reversible error.
Occurrences at the trial cannot be considered if the record contains no bill of exceptions.
A paper in the record signed by the plaintiff is not a bill of exceptions although styled exceptions to charge of jury and purporting to be initialed by the trial judge. Origet v. United States, 125 U.S. 243.
Even if a part of the record were treated as a bill of exceptions, if all matters therein depend for their solution upon examination of evidence not in the record, this Court will affirm, not having any means for determining whether reversible error arose from the action of the court.
186 F. 477 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
