THE PACIFIC RAILROAD v. THE UNITED STATES.
    [26 C. Cls. R., 564; 158 U. S. R., 118.]
    
      On the claimant’s Appeal.
    
    The claimant recovers judgment for $44,800. Both parties appeal. The Supreme Court awards judgment for a larger amount, hut the form of the mandate is: “ The judgment is hereby reversed, and it is ordered that this cause be remanded with directions to enter a judgment for the full amount claimed.” Interest is refused on the judgment appealed.
    The court below decides:
    The distinction between this case and Sobbs’s (19 C. Cls. R., 279) is that there the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment in favor of the claimant and ordered that an additional amount he allowed; here the court “reversed” the judgment appealed from and directed judgment to he entered for another and larger amount.
    Under the Revised Statutes, sections 1089, 1090, interest on a judgment appealed from can only he recovered when “ the same is affirmed by the Supreme Court.”
    
    The decision of the court below is affirmed on the same grounds.
   Mr. Justice Shiras

delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court, May 6, 1895.
