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.

Wilder v. Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company, Limited No. 30 Submitted October 22, 1908 Decided November 30, 1908 211 U.S. 239
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII
Syllabus
Section 4536, Rev.Stat., providing that seamen’s wage shall not be subject to attachment or arrestment, is to be construed in the light of other provision of the same title, and is to be liberally interpreted with a view to protect the seamen; and, as so construed, that section prevents the seizure of wages not only by attachment before, but execution after, judgment, and such wages cannot be seized under § 2118 of the Law of Hawaii.
Quaere, and not decided, whether the Act of June 9, 1874, c. 259, 18 Stat. 64, repealed § 4536, Rev.Stat., so far as vessels engaged in the coastwise trade are concerned.
17 Haw. 416 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
