Contracts — when law will imply promise on part of State to pay. This claim is similar to that of Greely Carson v. State, 1 Ill., Court of Claims, 135, and the decision of the Court in that case, and other similar cases cited herein, governs this case.
Edward J. Brundage, Attorney General, for State.

ÉTo objection or defense of the claim is interposed by .or on behalf of the State and the honorable Attorney General consents to an award herein in the sum of eight hundred and ninety-nine dollars and seventy-two cents ($899.72).
