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.

Chappell Chemical and Fertilizer Company v. Sulphur Mines Company (No. 3) Argued December 16, 1898 Decided January 9, 1899 172 U.S. 474
ERROR TO THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND
Syllabus
The claim made in the court below that the provision in the Constitution of Maryland which abridged the right of trial by jury in the courts of the City of Baltimore, without making a similar provision for the counties of the state denied to litigants of the city the equal protection of the laws, is not tenable.
The record does not contain the petition for the removal of this case from the state court to the Circuit Court of the United States, nor disclose the grounds on which it was founded, and this Court does not pass upon the question whether the state court lost jurisdiction by reason of it.
This cause was argued with Nos. 91 and 92, preceding it. The case is stated in the opinion.
