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.

Illinois Central Railroad Company v. United States No. 248 Argued April 28, 1924 Decided May 26, 1924 265 U.S. 209
APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
For the purpose of securing the reduced rates for transportation of its property over land-grant railroads, the government purchased goods for prices f.o.b. at place of shipment, paid the freight, and had shipment made by the sellers with government bills of lading. Held, that title passed at place of shipment, although the contracts of sale reserved to the government the right of inspection and rejection at the place of destination and imposed certain duties there upon the sellers, and that goods so transported and accepted by the government were entitled to the reduced rates of transportation. P. 213.
57 Ct.Clms. 277 affirmed.
Appeal from a judgment of the Court of Claims rejecting claims for additional compensation for transportation of freight.
