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.

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Under § 8(c) of the Act of February 13, 1925, which provides that no appeal to a Circuit Court of Appeals shall be allowed "unless application therefor be duly made within three months," and which is applicable to admiralty proceedings, the District Court has discretion, where within the three months’ period a notice of appeal is filed in the office of the clerk of the court and the intention to appeal is apparent, to treat the notice of appeal as an application for allowance of an appeal, and the action of the District Court in so treating a notice of appeal as an application for allowance of an appeal in this case was not an abuse of discretion. P. 336.
2. Where the appeal statute merely requires that an application for appeal be made within the prescribed time, the allowance may be made subsequently. P. 337.
141 F.2d 652 affirmed.
Certiorari, post, p. 692, to review the reversal of a decree dismissing a libel in admiralty.
