WHITLOCK COIL PIPE CO. v. THE UNITED STATES
    [No. J-375.
    Decided April 6, 1931]
    
      Mr. Benedict M. Holden for the plaintiff.
    
      Messrs. J. Robert Anderson and George Dyson, with whom was Mr. Assistant Attorney General Charles B. Rugg, for the defendant.
   MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT

This case was submitted upon the record and the only defense interposed by the defendant was that the appropriation for the payment of the cost of the equipment furnished under the contract mentioned in the findings had lapsed. This, however, is no bar to the right of the plaintiff to judgment in this court for the amount due. Huffman v. United States, 17 C. Cls. 55; Dougherty v. United States, 18 C. Cls. 496; Ferris v. United States, 27 C. Cls. 542; Cogswell v. United States, 68 C. Cls. 694.

Judgment will, therefore, be entered in favor of the plaintiff for $11,315. It is so ordered.
