	Straight Dope Staff Report: What caused the Mad Hatter to go mad?
		The most famous Mad Hatter, of course, is the one from the Mad Tea Party in Alice in Wonderland, the partner of the March Hare.
		The phrases "mad as a hatter" and "mad as a March hare" were common at the time Lewis Carroll wrote (1865 was the first publication date of Alice).
		The hatters were exposed to the mercury fumes, which would have been long dissipated (or of insignificant strength) by the time the hat was worn.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Language (Mad As a Hatter) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Phrases such as mad as a March hare, mad as a buck, mad as Maybutter, and mad as a wet hen are older than mad as a hatter, leaving open the conclusion that hatter is but a variation of an existing term.
		Carter was neither a hat maker nor had been exposed through his work to mercury fumes — if he had indeed been Carroll's inspiration for the "Mad Hatter" of Alice, it would have been because he was a somewhat nutty real-life character much given to the wearing of highly noticeable hats.
		His Mad Hatter could therefore be a caricature of Theophilus Carter, a real person of his acquaintance, while his mad as a hatter could have been a twist on the pre-existing saying, mad as a March hare.

	Mad as a hatter
		The circumstantial evidence is rather against the millinery origin though and, beyond the fact that hatters often suffered trembling fits, there's little to link hat making to the coining of 'as mad as a hatter'.
		His 'Hatter' character from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is of course the best-known mad hatter of them all.
		The Hatter is not actually described as mad in the story - merely a participant at 'a mad tea-party'; although he can hardly be called sane.

	No. 99-1978: United States v. Hatter - Petition Appendix
		In Hatter I, this court dismissed plaintiffs' claim for lack of jurisdiction, concluding that the plaintiffs were seeking a tax refund and had failed to observe statutory prerequisites to suit.
		In Hatter IV, 64 F.3d at 653, the Federal Circuit remanded "for tax refunds or recoveries for the sums improperly withheld from the claimants' salaries." Remand was necessary because "the trial court did not determine whether the Social Security taxes in this case in fact diminished the claimants' compensation." Id. at 652 (emphasis added).
		Defendant concedes, in light of Hatter IV, that eight of the plaintiffs7 are entitled to damages for the amount of OASDI taxes withheld from salary payments made in January 1984 for services in December 1983.

		There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head.
		The Hatter was the only one who got any advantage from the change: and Alice was a good deal worse off than before, as the March Hare had just upset the milk-jug into his plate.
		Then she went to work nibbling at the mushroom (she had kept a piece of it in her pocket) till she was about a foot high: then she walked down the little passage: and then--she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flower-beds and the cool fountains.
