    JAMES COLEMAN ET AL. v. THE UNITED STATES.
    [Not reported in C. Cls. R.; U. S. R.]
    
      On the claimants’ Appeal.
    
    Claimants undertake for settlers to have set aside certain fraudulent land grants in New Mexico and Colorado, and receive permission from the Attorney-General to join the United States as a party to the suit without compensation. Upon the settlers withdrawing from the suit they apply to the United States for payment of the expense of going on. Whereupon the United States decline their further services and they bring suit, alleging an implied contract.
    The court below dismisses the claimants’ petition on demurrer.
    The decision of the court below is affirmed.
