United States, 283 U.S. 25 (1931), was a United States Supreme Court case. BackgroundMcBoyle transported a plane that he knew to be stolen from Ottawa, Illinois to Guymon, Oklahoma. CaseMcBoyle was accused of violating the National Motor Vehicle Theft Act.[1] The petitioners claimed that since the act did not specifically mention aircraft, it did not apply to aircraft. DecisionThe court held that, since other acts – such as the Tariff Act of 1930[2] – specifically excluded aircraft in its definition of a vehicle, the law must be interpreted narrowly. Justice Holmes stated: Although it is not likely that a criminal will carefully consider the text of the law before he murders or steals, it is reasonable that a fair warning should be given to the world in language that the common world will understand, of what the law intends to do if a certain line is passed. To make the warning fair, so far as possible the line should be clear. This case is a good example of the canon of ejusdem generis ("of the same kind, class, or nature"). See also
