United States v. McCandless
Statement by Mr. Justice BROWN:

This was a petition by the clerk of the district court for the western district of Pennsylvania for payment of certain fees which had been disallowed in the settlement of his accounts by the officers of the treasury. Petitioner averred the approval of his accounts by the court, and that his whole compensation, if said fees were paid, would not exceed the maximum compensation of $3,500. The court directed a judgment to be entered in his favor for $171.15, and the United States appealed.

Sol. Gen. Aldrich, for the United States.

C. C. Lancaster, for appellee.

Mr. Justice BROWN, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.
