    (23 C. Cls. R. ; 127 U. S. R., 51.)
    
      On the defendants’ Appeal.
    
    Suit was brought by the claimants to recover $5,306.71, alleged to be an unsatisfied j>art of a judgment in the Court of Commissioners of Alabama Claims, illegally withheld by the Treasury Department.
    The court below deckles:
    (1) The claimants having recovered judgment in the Court of Commissioners of Alabama Claims, are entitled to payment of their judgment, without any deduction for expenses of the Geneva Tribunal of Arbitration, section 5 of the act of Congress of June 2,1886, having fixed the amount of the fund to be distributed to the judgment creditors and specifying exactly wliat shall be deducted therefrom.
    
      (S) This court has jurisdiction in law and equity, among other matters, of all claims founded upon any law of Congress or upon any contract with the Government of the'United States; the present claim does not grow out of any stipulation of the treaty of Washington.
    (3) While the act giving jurisdiction excepts claims for pensions, war claims, claims which accrued more than six years before suit brought, and claims rejected, etc., it makes no exception of claims growing out oí, or dependent upon, any treaty stipulation, and repeals all laws and parts of laws inconsistent with the act.
    The decision of the court below is affirmed on the same grounds.
