Court of Claims, 1921

Parmelee v. United States

Court of Claims · Decided February 21, 1921

56 Ct. Cl. 125; 1921 U.S. Ct. Cl. LEXIS 182; 1921 WL 1242

Counsel

Mr. George A. King for the plaintiff. King & King were on the briefs., Mr. John G. Ewing, with whom was Mr. Assistant Attor•ney General Frank Davis, Jr., for the defendant.

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.

The item upon which judgment is rendered is, in the-opinion of the court, governed by the cases of Katzer, 52 C. Cls., 32, and Knowles, 52 C. Cls., 520. As to the other item-claimed, it appears that the plaintiff was informed that if he-did not desire to proceed to Norfolk, Va., at his own expense he should regard the orders as revoked and return them to the bureau for cancellation. This evidently was not an order such as was discussed in the Katzer case, supra, and does not. justify an extension of the rule therein stated.

Judgment will be entered for plaintiff in the sum of $253.68.

The petition as to the other item is dismissed.
