Commonwealth v. Hunt, 45 Mass. 11, 4 Met. (1842) was a case that departed unexpectedly from the anti-labor sentiments of the 19th-century. Chief Justice Lemuel Shaw ruled that a group of workers banded together to protect common interests was not a criminal conspiracy.

Unfortunately, while the case is interesting and unusual, it is not often cited as case law because decisions in higher courts, such as the US Supreme Court, contradicted the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court opinion.
