The court of claims has allowed the claims Of
Winslow Alderdice and William G. Hannah.
and dismissed those of Xavier Perrimond,

missed This was a claim for balance Of fec
Us an inforner in Il customs case which had
been compromised for $4,000. Jackson
claims $500, or one-fourth Of the amount
recovered, as his fee. The secretary Of tho
treasury (Morrill) allowed him $1,000 on the
ground that tho law prohibited the payment
of more than that sum for such service. Mr.
Jackson appealed from the decision and
brought the matter before the treasury de-
partment again, under subsequent admins
tration, and it was finally referred to the
court of claims under tho Bowman act The
court sustained the action of Secretary Nor.
