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.

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT
OF THE UNITED STATES FOR PORTO RICO
Syllabus
When the meaning of a statute is doubtful, the construction given by the department charged with its execution should be given great weight. Robertson v. Downing, 127 U.S. 607; United States v. Healy, 160 U.S. 136.
The reenactment by Congress, without change, of a statute which had previously received long continued executive construction, is an adoption by Congress of such construction. United States v. Falk, 204 U.S. 143.
Par. 296 of the Tariff Act of July 11, 1897, construed in accordance with Treasury decision.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
