New Orleans Flour Inspectors v. Glover

No. 88

Argued November 22 and submitted December 2, 1895

Decided December 9, 1895

160 U.S. 170

Syllabus

Mills v. Green, 159 U. S. 651, affirmed to the point that when, pending an appeal from the judgment of a lower court, and without any fault of the defendant, an event occurs which renders it impossible for the appellate court, if it should decide the case in favor of the plaintiff, to grant him any effectual relief, the court will not proceed to a formal judgment, but will dismiss the appeal.
