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.

CERTIORARI TO THE KANSAS CITY COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI
Syllabus
Where, in the contemplation of the parties and by the terms of the bill of lading, a shipment is purely intrastate, and neither the bill nor any state regulation give a right to divert or reship, the action of the shipper and connecting carrier in forwarding the goods, after arrival at destination, to a new destination in another state under a new bill cannot impress the original shipment with an interstate character, subject it to the Interstate Commerce Act and interstate tariffs, and so render the initial carrier liable under the Carmack Amendment for damage occurring under the new consignment.
200 Mo.App. 655 affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
