'''Ward Hunt''' (June 14, 1810 – March 24, 1886) was an [[Associate Justice]] of the [[Supreme Court of the United States]]. Hunt suffered a stroke in 1879, but stayed on the Court in order to reach the minimum years required for [[pension]]. Congress passed a special exemption, giving Hunt pension if he agreed to resign within 30 days; he resigned the day the bill was signed into law.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://law.jrank.org/pages/7448/Hunt-Ward.html|title=Ward Hunt|language=English|work=law.jrank}}</ref>
