This court was established by act of Congress, February 24, 1855 (10 Stat. L., 612). It has general jurisdiction of all "claims founded upon the Constitution of the United States or any law of Congress, except for pensions, or upon any regulation of an Executive Department, or upon any contract, expressed or implied, with the Government of the United States, or for damages, liquidated or unliquidated, in cases not sounding in tort, in respect of which claims the party would be entitled to redress against the United States, either in a court of law, equity, or admiralty, if the United States were suable, except claims growing out of the late civil war and commonly known as war claims," and certain rejected claims. It has jurisdiction also of claims of like character which may be referred to it by any Executive Department, involving disputed facts or controverted questions of law, where the amount in controversy exceeds $3,000, or where the decision will affect a class of cases or furnish a precedent for the future action of any Executive Department in the adjustment of a class of cases, or where any authority, right, privilege, or exemption is claimed or denied under the Constitution. In all the above-mentioned cases the court, when it finds for the claimant, may enter judgment against the United States, payable out of the public Treasury. An appeal, only upon questions of law, lies to the Supreme Court on the part of the defendants in all cases, and on the part of the claimants when the amount in controversy exceeds $3,000. The findings of fact by the Court of Claims are final and not subject to review by the Supreme Court. By the act of March 3, 1883, chapter 116 (22 Stat. L., 485, and I Supplement to R. Š., 2d ed., p. 403), called the "Bowman Act," the head of an Executive Depart ment may refer to the court any "claim or matter" pending in his Department involving controverted questions of fact or law. The court is required to find the facts and its conclusions of law and to report the same to the Department for its guidance and action. The same act authorizes either House of Congress or any of its committees to refer to the court any "claim or matter" involving the investigation and determination of facts, the court to find the facts and report the same to Congress for such action thereon as may there be determined. This act is extended by act of March 2, 1887, chapter 359 (24 Stat. L., 505, and 1 Supplement to R. S., 2d ed., p. 559). There is a statute of limitations which prevents parties from bringing actions on their own motion beyond six years after the cause of action accrued, but the Departments may refer claims at any time, if they were pending therein within the six years. The only limitation under the Bowman Act is that the court shall have no jurisdiction of any claim barred before the passage of the act by any then existing provision of law. By act of January 20, 1885 (23 Stat. L., 283, and 1 Supplement to R. S., 2d ed., p. 471), Congress gave to the court jurisdiction over "claims to indemnity upon the French Government arising out of illegal captures, detentions, seizures, condemnations, and confiscations prior to the ratification of the convention between the United States and the French Republic concluded on the 30th day of September, 1800." The time of filing claims is limited to two years from the passage of the act, and all claims not presented within that time are forever barred. The court finds the facts and the law, and reports the same in each case to Congress. By act of March 3, 1891, chapter 538 (26 Stat. L., 851, and Supplement to R. S., 2d ed., p. 913), the court is vested with jurisdiction of certain Indian depredation claims. The Secretary of the Navy has referred to the court, under the act of March 2, 1887 (24 Stat. L., 505), all cases growing out of claims for bounty for war vessels captured or destroyed by the United States Navy during the late war with Spain, involving consideration of every naval conflict that took place and the rights of all the officers and men engaged. a There are five judges, who sit together in the hearing of cases, the concurrence of three of whom is necessary for the decision of any case. The court sits at Washington, D. C., in the old Corcoran Art Building, Seventeenth and Pennsylvania avenue NW., on the first Monday in December each year, and continues into the following summer and until all cases ready for trial are disposed of. Cases may be commenced and entered at any time, whether the court be in session or not. COURT OF APPEALS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. (In United States Court-House.) Chief Justice.-Richard H.
