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 COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Syllabus
A writ of error to review a judgment of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia dismissing a petition for mandamus against the Secretary of the Treasury must be dismissed if, after respondent’s resignation from office, his successor has not been substituted within twelve months. P. 218. Act of February 8, 1899, c. 121, 30 Stat. 822.
In default of such timely substitution, the petition cannot be retained to charge the respondent personally in damages (D.C.Code, § 1278), since damages are only incident to allowance of the writ. P. 219.
