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.
Graham v. Gill, 223 U.S. 643 (1912)
Graham v. Gill No. 173 Submitted February 29, 1912 Decided March 11, 1912 223 U.S. 643
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA
Syllabus
Overruling objections to admission of evidence other than field notes of surveys is in effect passing on effect of the requirements of § 2396, Rev.Stat., and, in regard to surveys of public lands, involves a federal question reviewable by this Court under § 709, Rev.Stat.
Evidence other than field notes of a survey of public lands may be admissible if it has a legitimate tendency to precisely locate the land, even though it may tend to show an error in the field notes, and, under the circumstances of this case, such evidence was proper. French-Glenn Live Stock Co. v. Stringer, 185 U.S. 47.
56 Fla. 316 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the admissibility under § 2396, Rev.Stat., of evidence other than field notes in regard to location of a tract of public land, are stated in the opinion.
