M'Culloch would actually be a correct way to write McCulloch; the problem is that his name was M'Culloh. See Michael G. Collins, M'Culloch and the Turned Comma http://www.greenbag.org/v12n3/v12n3_collins.pdf

Actually I do have another. Sims' Lessee v. Irvine, 3 U.S. (3 Dall.) 425 (1799). It was actually Charles Simms.

The incorrect writing of a last name in the actual case name. Sanford, not Sandford. McCulloch not M'Culloch. And Gobitas not Gobitis. Not sure of any others.
