Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Benjamin Carter, with whom Mr. Frank Carter Pope was on the brief, for appellant.

Mr. Assistant Attorney General Davis, with whom Mr. Crowley Wentworth, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, was on the brief, for the United States.

MR. JUSTICE McREYNOLDS delivered the opinion of the court.

Appellant sued in the Court of Claims to recover balances for transportation services originally payable to the Florida Central & Peninsular Railroad Company, to whose rights it had succeeded through merger or consolidation. Holding that because of § 3477, Rev. Stats. (9 Stat. 41, and 10 Stat. 170), appellant could not maintain the action, that court dismissed its petition.
