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.

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
Syllabus
Where there is no question as to the interpretation of the Employers’ Liability Act or as to the definition of legal principles in its application, but the question is simply whether there were matters for determination of the jury, this Court, with due regard to the appropriate exercise of its jurisdiction, will not disturb the decision of the court below unless error is palpable.
In cases of this sort arising under the Employers’ Liability Act, not being of exceptional character, this Court confines itself to the mere announcement of its conclusion, as it does, in this case, of affirmance.
130 Minn. 405 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the validity of a verdict and judgment in suit for personal injuries under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act, are stated in the opinion.
