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.
Louisville & Nashville R. Co. v. Woodford, 234 U.S. 46 (1914)
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company v. Woodford No. 531 Motion to dismiss submitted March 23, 1914 Decided May 25, 1914 234 U.S. 46
ERROR TO THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF KENTUCKY
Syllabus
In order that the denial of a federal right may be the basis of reviewing the judgment of the state court, the claim of federal right must be made in the state court in the manner required by the state practice, and unless there is an unwarranted resort to rules of practice by the state court to evade decision of the federal question, this Court will not review the judgment.
Raising the federal claim of right on motion for new trial is not sufficient unless the court actually passes upon and denies the claim, and a decision by the appellate court that the federal claim was not properly raised is not a denial of the federal right, but merely an enforcement of a rule of state practice.
Writ of error to review 152 Ky. 398 dismissed.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of this Court under § 237, Judicial Code, are stated in the opinion.
