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.

Virginia v. West Virginia No. 3, Original Motion to proceed with the further hearing and termination of the case Submitted October 10, 1911 Motion overruled October 30, 1911 222 U.S. 17
IN EQUITY
Syllabus
Even if the question in litigation is important and should be disposed of without undue delay, a state cannot be expected to move with the celerity of an individual; a motion made in this case by complainant that the court proceed to determine all questions left open by the decision in 220 U.S. 1 denied without prejudice.
The conference suggested by this Court, 220 U.S. 36, is one in the cause to settle the decree, and not to effect an independent compromise out of court.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
