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.

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Syllabus
Oxley Stave Co. v. Butler County, 166 U.S. 648, followed to the point that
the jurisdiction of this Court to reexamine the final judgment of a state court cannot arise from inference, but only from averments so distinct and positive as to place it beyond question that the party bringing a case here from such court intended to assert a federal right.
The case is stated in the opinion.
