Today in Supreme Court History: December 25

Liverpool & London & Globe Ins. Co. v. Gunther, 116 U.S. 113 (decided December 25, 1885) (was this case really “filed” on December 25, as Westlaw has it?): No, this case did not concern Scrooge’s raise to Bob Cratchit being in violation of some wage/price control (actually that was on December 26).  A boring matter, expenses of a suit and trustees of a railroad, but the only December 25 case I could find. A Merry Christmas to all to those for whom it has meaning, and also to everyone else. Peace on Earth!
