Henry Green (Pennsylvania judge)

Henry Green was born in Greenwich Township, Warren County, New Jersey.

His clients included the Lehigh Valley Railroad and its operator, prominent Pennsylvania businessman Asa Packer.

[3] Among the matters Green handled for Packer was a legal action against Noble, Hammond & Company that lasted for over 25 years.

By the time that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court finally resolved it in 1883, in favor of Green's client, all of the principals were dead.

[6] As his temporary appointment neared its end in 1880, Green was nominated by the Republicans to run for a full 21-year term on the Court.

He defeated the Democratic candidate, George Jenks of Brookville, PA, in November,[7] and took his semi-permanent seat on December 2, 1880[8] The case that seems to be most often-mentioned in connection with Justice Green is Commonwealth v. Gloucester Ferry Company, an interstate taxation and commerce dispute.

While vacationing at Atlantic City, NJ's Hotel Traymore that summer, Green awoke and complained of a headache.
