the court so that its jurisdiction over

the government has no right of review

The court is making rapid progress
towards clearing of its area of work,
only $40 cases being now left on the
docket where there were 1880 in 1890.
But the court Of claims is rapidly
running behindband, disposing of only
about 500 cases Il year where 300 now
ones are added to the 5000 already Oh
the docket. The reason is not that the
court is unable to hear them but that
