United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Company 200 U.S. 321 (1906) is a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. Although the primary issue to the parties of the case was to determine ownership of 44 tracts of timberland the case has become the standard reference to warn attorneys not to rely on the syllabus of a reported case. Prior to Detroit Lumber the Reporter of Decisions had mischaracterized the holding of Hawley v. Diller in its syllabus for that case.
