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.

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. The time for settling a bill of exceptions after a conviction, was extended at the request of the government and expired on a Sunday; counsel for both sides went together to the judge’s chambers to secure his signature on the Saturday preceding, but, failing to find him, agreed to ask for it on the next Monday. This was done, and the bill was then signed pursuant to their agreement. Held that it should be accepted as part of the record because of the exceptional circumstances. P. 4.
2. Suspicion that a person is engaged in violations of the prohibition law, confirmed by the odor of whisky and by peeping through a chink in a garage standing adjacent to his dwelling and part of the same premises, will not justify prohibition officers in breaking into the garage and seizing the whisky for the purpose of obtaining evidence of guilt. P. 5.
55 F.2d 58 reversed.
Certiorari, 285 U.S. 534, to review the affirmance of a conviction under the Prohibition Act.
