HUNT, Ward, jurist, born in Utica, New York, 14 June, 1810; died in Washington, D. C., 24 March, 1886. He was graduated at Union in 1828, studied law in Litchfield, Connecticut, and practised his profession for many years in Utica, New York, where he was mayor in 1844. He was a member of the New York legislature in 1839, but took little interest in politics, and devoted himself to jurisprudence. In 1865 he was elected to the New York court of appeals, and in 1872 he was appointed associate justice of the United States supreme court. For the next few years he was allotted to the second circuit, including New York, Connecticut, and Vermont. The failure of his health induced congress in 1882 to grant his retirement on a pension. Union and Rutgers colleges gave him the degree of LL. D.
