Ex parte Jackson, 96 U.S. 727 (1878), was a United States Supreme Court ex parte decision.[1] The case decided that the United States Post Office may open and inspect mail to limit the transmission of circulars on lotteries.[2] It also extended Fourth Amendment protections to private letters, holding that letters and sealed packages sent through the mail required warrants to be searched through.[1]
