Narrative Opinion Summary

Two appeals were reviewed under the new jurisdictional framework established by the act of February 13, 1925, which eliminated appeals from the Court of Claims and mandated that its judgments could only be reviewed through certiorari. The court determined that these appeals raised no significant legal questions, did not warrant a formal opinion from the Court of Claims, and thus did not require one in this instance. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, and the judgment of the Court of Claims was affirmed. The decision was made on October 26, 1925.
