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.

Jackson v. Emmons No. 167 Submitted February 2, 1900 Decided February 26, 1900 176 U.S. 532
ERROR TO THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Syllabus
On motion of the plaintiff made after commencement of the trial of this case, a juror was withdrawn, the remaining jurors were dismissed, and leave was given to the plaintiff to amend his declaration within a time named, and the case was continued for the term. Subsequently, on motion of the defendants’ attorney, made after notice to plaintiff, the time within which the amendment could be filed was enlarged, and the plaintiff was ordered to pay the costs of the term in which the juror was withdrawn. The plaintiff declined to pay those costs, and the court dismissed the case. Held that the trial court erred in so doing, as whatever conditions or rights the defendants were entitled to in consequence of the plaintiff’s motion should have been asserted and adjudged when that motion was made.
The statement of the case will be found in the opinion of the Court.
