    WILLIAM L. BAILEE, Administrator, v. THE UNITED STATES.
    (No opinion in C. Cls. ; not reported in U. S. R.)
    
      On the defendants’ Appeal.
    
    This was a claim for an informer’s share of penalty under the internal-revenue laws, payment of which was refused by the Secretary of the Treasury on the ground of the alleged repeal of the law rewarding informers, before the Secretary had approved the compromise.
    The court below filed findings of fact and conclusions of law and entered judgment for the claimant, on the authority of Bam-say v. The United States (21 C. Cls. R., 443), involving similar facts and the same question of law, which was affirmed by the Supreme Court by a divided court, January 17, 1887 (ante, p. 4S3).
   The decision, of the court vided coart April 23, 1888, the Chief-Justice having died, and Mr. Justice Lamar having been appointed in the place of Mr. Justice Woods since the decision of the former case.
