Description
Mr. Assistant Attorney-General Smith for the appellant. The Court of Claims possesses no equity powers, and cannot pass upon equitable claims. Alire's Case, 6 Ct. of Cl. 575; Ha vey's Case, 8 id. 512. If it could, an assignee of an unliquidated claim against the United States would have no standing in that court, as the act of Feb. 26, 1853, 10 Stat. 170, renders void the assignment of such a claim. Sine's Case, 1 Ct. of Cl. 12; Cooper's Case, id. 87; Pierce's Case, id. 288; Cote's Case, 3 id. 65; Adam's Case, id. 332; Stowe's Case, 5 id. 371 Atocha's Case, 6 id. 69; Becker v. Sweetzer, 15 Minn. 427.
