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.

Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railway Company v. Popplar No. 223 Submitted April 14, 1915 Decided April 26, 1915 237 U.S. 369
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
Syllabus
In this case, the Court finds no ground for reversal in the ruling of the trial court that there was enough to go to the jury upon the question whether, in fact, the appliance complained of was defective.
Where the power of this Court to review the judgment is controlled by § 237, Judicial Code, questions nonfederal in character may not be considered, nor can this Court pass on whether a rule of the carrier was or was not disobeyed in a case dependent upon the Safety Appliance Act.
The defense of contributory negligence is not dealt with by the Safety Appliance Act.
121 Minn. 1413 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the validity of a judgment of the state court for damages for personal injuries, are stated in the opinion.
