{{United States constitutional law}}
This is a '''list of cases reported in volume 125 of ''[[United States Reports]]''''', decided by the [[Supreme Court of the United States]] in 1888.

== Justices of the Supreme Court at the time of volume 125 U.S. ==
{{see also|List of United States Supreme Court justices by time in office}}
{{see also|List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States by court composition}}

The Supreme Court is established by [[Article Three of the United States Constitution|Article III, Section 1]] of the [[Constitution of the United States]], which says: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court . . .". The size of the Court is not specified; the Constitution leaves it to [[Congress of the United States|Congress]] to set the number of justices. Under the [[Judiciary Act of 1789]] Congress originally fixed the number of justices at six (one chief justice and five associate justices).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://guides.ll.georgetown.edu/supreme_court|title=Supreme Court Research Guide |access-date=7 April 2021 |publisher=Georgetown Law Library}}</ref> Since 1789 Congress has varied the size of the Court from six to [[Seventh Circuit Act of 1807|seven]], [[Eighth and Ninth Circuits Act of 1837|nine]], [[Tenth Circuit Act of 1863|ten]], and back to [[Judiciary Act of 1869|nine]] justices (always including one chief justice).

When the cases in volume 125 U.S. were decided the Court comprised the following nine members (Chief Justice Waite died in March 1888, and some of his opinions in the cases below were issued posthumously):

== Citation style ==
{{see also|United States district court}}
{{see also|United States circuit court}}
{{see also|United States federal courts}}
Under the [[Judiciary Act of 1789]] the federal court structure at the time comprised District Courts, which had general trial jurisdiction; Circuit Courts, which had mixed trial and appellate (from the US District Courts) jurisdiction; and the United States Supreme Court, which had appellate jurisdiction over the federal District and Circuit courts—and for certain issues over state courts. The Supreme Court also had limited [[original jurisdiction]] (''i.e.,'' in which cases could be filed directly with the Supreme Court without first having been heard by a lower federal or state court). There were one or more federal District Courts and/or Circuit Courts in each state, territory, or other geographical region.

[[Bluebook]] citation style is used for case names, citations, and jurisdictions.

* "D." = United States District Court for the District of . . .

** ''e.g.,''"C.C.S.D.N.Y." = United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York
** ''e.g.,''"M.D. Ala." = [[United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama]]
* "Ct. Cl." = [[United States Court of Claims]]
* The abbreviation of a state's name alone indicates the highest appellate court in that state's judiciary at the time.

This is a list of cases reported in volume 125 of United States Reports, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1888.

Justices of the Supreme Court at the time of volume 125 U.S.[edit]

See also: List of United States Supreme Court justices by time in office
See also: List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States by court composition

The Supreme Court is established by Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States, which says: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court . . .". The size of the Court is not specified; the Constitution leaves it to Congress to set the number of justices. Under the Judiciary Act of 1789 Congress originally fixed the number of justices at six (one chief justice and five associate justices).[1] Since 1789 Congress has varied the size of the Court from six to seven, nine, ten, and back to nine justices (always including one chief justice).

When the cases in volume 125 U.S. were decided the Court comprised the following nine members (Chief Justice Waite died in March 1888, and some of his opinions in the cases below were issued posthumously):

Under the Judiciary Act of 1789 the federal court structure at the time comprised District Courts, which had general trial jurisdiction; Circuit Courts, which had mixed trial and appellate (from the US District Courts) jurisdiction; and the United States Supreme Court, which had appellate jurisdiction over the federal District and Circuit courts—and for certain issues over state courts. The Supreme Court also had limited original jurisdiction (i.e., in which cases could be filed directly with the Supreme Court without first having been heard by a lower federal or state court). There were one or more federal District Courts and/or Circuit Courts in each state, territory, or other geographical region.

Bluebook citation style is used for case names, citations, and jurisdictions.
