Wharton v. Wise 153 U.S. 155 (1894) is a 9-to-0 ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States which denied a citizen of the state of Maryland a writ of habeas corpus. The appellant tried and convicted of illegally harvesting oysters from Pocomoke Sound in the Chesapeake Bay had argued that his right to fish was protected by an interstate compact and that this compact also barred the state of Virginia from trying him. The Supreme Court disagreed on both counts.
