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.

United States v. Forrester No. 287 Argued October 22, 23, 26, 1908 Decided December 14, 1908 211 U.S. 399
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Syllabus
United States v. Keitel, ante, p. 370, followed; the rule therein stated as to fraudulent entries of coal lands under §§ 2347-2350, Rev.Stat., by qualified persons for the benefit, and as agents of, disqualified persons, applies not only to cash entries, but also to entries under preferential rights by persons opening and developing mines on the lands entered.
The preferential right under §§ 2348, 2349, Rev.Stat., is not in and of itself the equivalent of an entry uncontrolled by the prohibitions expressed in the statutes relating to entries of coal lands, but is simply a privilege to make the statutory entry of a particular tract in preference to others.
157 F. 396, reversed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
