FCC v. AT&T · ¶34

Ex parte Peterson is of a piece. 253 U. S. 300. There, the District Court (Augustus Hand, J.) appointed an “auditor” to “make and file a report” “as to the facts” concerning disputed coal deliveries, which would serve as prima facie evidence before the jury. Id., at 304. As in Meeker, we rejected a Seventh Amendment challenge to this scheme because it left for the jury the “ultimate determination of issues of fact.” 253 U. S., at 310.
