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.

In re District of Columbia Nos. 13 and 14 , Original Argued January 21, 1901 Decided February 11, 1901 180 U.S. 250
APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
Section 1088 of the Revised Statutes relates to cases in which the Court of Claims is satisfied from the evidence that some fraud, wrong or injustice has been done the United States as matter of fact, and this is so in its application to the District of Columbia under the Act of June 18, 1880.
The motions for new trial involved in these cases were grounded on error of law, to correct which the remedy was by appeal.
Resort cannot be had to motions under § 1088 simply because, on appeals in other similar cases, it had been determined by this Court that the court below had erred.
The case is stated in the opinion of the Court.
