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.

Cross v. Evans No. 268 Argued and submitted April 2, 1897 Decided May 10, 1897 167 U.S. 60
CERTIFICATE FROM THE COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Under the Judiciary Act of 1891 a circuit court of appeals has no power to certify the whole case to this Court, but can only certify distinct questions or propositions, unmixed with questions of fact or of mixed law and fact, and the questions certified in this case are clearly violative of this settled rule.
The case is stated in the opinion.
