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.
Columbus Construction Co. v. Crane Co., 174 U.S. 600 (1899)
Columbus Construction Company v. Crane Company No. 462 Submitted April 17, 1899 Decided May 22, 1899 174 U.S. 600
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
The Judiciary Act of March 3, 1891, c. 517, 26 Stat. 826, does not contemplate several separate appeals or writs of error on the merits in the same case and at the same time to two appellate courts, and therefore the writ in this case in this Court, which was taken while the case was pending in the circuit court of appeals, is dismissed.
In May, 1891, the Columbus Construction Company, a corporation of the State of New Jersey, brought in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern district of Illinois an action at law against the Crane Company, a corporation of the State of Illinois. The case was put at issue, and the trial resulted in a verdict and judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $48,000. This judgment was reversed by the circuit court of appeals upon a writ of error sued out by the defendant. 73 F. 984. Thereafter the case was again tried, and resulted in a verdict and judgment in favor of the defendant, upon a plea of set-off, in the sum of $98,085.94, as of the date of March 2, 1898.
On the 25th day of August, 1898, a writ of error to reverse this judgment was sued out by the plaintiff from the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Seventh circuit, where the case is now pending.
On the 27th day of September, 1898, the plaintiff also sued out a writ of error from this Court. On April 17, 1899, the defendant in error filed a motion to dismiss this writ of error, and on the same day the plaintiff in error filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Seventh circuit.
