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.

Illinois Central Railroad Company v. Messina No. 535 Argued February 23, 1916 Decided March 6, 1916 240 U.S. 395
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
Syllabus
While the Anti-pass Provision of the Hepburn Act of 1906 may have had more formal uses especially in view than that of allowing a person to ride upon an interstate train by permission of an employ of the carrier, this Court cannot limit the prohibition to such uses. There being a question whether plaintiff, who was injured while riding free by consent of the engineer on the engine of an interstate train, could have recovered under state law had his presence been illegal under the federal statute, held that it was reversible error not to have charged the jury that the federal act applied.
The facts, which involve the construction and application of the Anti-pass provision of the Hepburn Act of 1906, are stated in the opinion.
