We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

Henry Woodhull Green brother of John Cleve Green, he was a member of one of the oldest New Jersey families.
His father, Caleb Smith Green, a farmer in Hunterdon (later Mercer) County, New Jersey, married Elizabeth, daughter of Aaron Van Cleve of Batavia, New York, and he was born on September 20, 1804, in Maidenhead (now Lawrenceville), New Jersey.
Green spent his youth on his father’s farm and his early education was procured at the academy which became the Lawrenceville School, whence he proceeded to the College of New Jersey in 1818, graduating there in 1820.
He then took up the study of law with Charles Ewing at Trenton, and, when the latter became chief justice in 1824, completed his course at the law school in Litchfield, Connecticut.
Green was admitted as an attorney at Trenton in November term 1825 and became a counselor in February 1829.
Since Trenton was the county seat, he commenced practice there, and thenceforward, until his elevation to the bench twenty-one years later, the record of his career at the bar presents a story of continuous advancement and uninterrupted success.
He did not confine himself to any particular branch of law. His capabilities were first displayed in local trials before a jury, following which he was entrusted with briefs in the court of chancery and the supreme court. Appellate work followed in a natural sequence.
In 1832, he had been elected recorder of the city of Trenton, and in 1837, he was appointed a reporter of the court of chancery, a position which he retained for seven years.
In this capacity, he published Reports of Cases determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of New Jersey, 1838-45. These reports have a very high standing with the profession.
Green took a leading part in the proceedings, during the course of which he strenuously opposed the election of judges. In 1845, he became a member of the commission appointed to collate and revise the New Jersey statutes.
The result of their labors appeared as Statutes of the State of New Jersey Revised and Published under the Authority of the Legislature in 1847.
On November 2, 1846, Green was appointed by Gov. Stratton chief justice of the supreme court of New Jersey and was reappointed at the end of his first term.
In March 1860, eight months prior to the expiration of his second term, he was appointed chancellor and ordinary or judge of the prerogative court and continued as such till May 1, 1866, when his health, gradually weakened by over-work, broke down and he resigned.
In 1864, on the death of Chief Justice Taney, President Lincoln had offered him the position of chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, but failing health had compelled him to decline its responsibilities. In all, he held judicial office for nearly twenty years.

In 1842, Green was elected as a Whig to represent Mercer County in the Assembly, but served only one term, having no inclination for political life. He was a delegate to the National Whig Convention at Baltimore in 1844, however, and there nominated Frelinghuysen for vice-president.
In the same year, he was elected a delegate from Mercer County to the convention which was called to revise the New Jersey constitution. The task involved heavy responsibilities inasmuch as the existing constitution was a makeshift production of the Provincial Congress of 1776.
Though Green's record as chancellor was distinguished, his reputation will rest mainly upon his work as chief justice. He came to the bench endowed with a remarkable legal instinct and logical faculty, fortified by wide reading which a tenacious memory enabled him to utilize to the utmost.
He also possessed a strong personality which made him the dominating figure when presiding in the supreme court or the court of errors and appeals. In rare instances were his decisions reversed and he almost invariably carried his colleagues with him in his disposition of a case.
Though he enjoyed unbounded respect and confidence as a judge, he was never popular. His ingrained austerity of demeanor, his outspoken dislike of mediocrity, and his somewhat hasty temper repelled familiarity or close friendships.
Quotes from others about the person
“Green's manner was very dignified and impressive. His tall form and strong frame, his massive head, stern features and - though one would imagine otherwise - even his long and rather shaggy reddish hair gave him an air of command and judicial dignity. ”
On March 22, 1831, Green was married to Emily Augusta Ewing, the daughter of Chief Justice Ewing. She died in 1837 and on January 2, 1840, he married her sister, Susan Mary Ewing.
