Famous Court Cases

IR-student asked:


This was a famous case regarding the British military occupation of portions of (what is today) Maine, during the War of 1812. The complete legal reference is United States v. Rice, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 246 (1819). However, I have been unable to find a link to this case on the internet. The FINDLAW website does not have this case.

Can anyone provide a link to this Supreme Court case from the year of 1819?
