Bulkley v. United States
APPEAL from the Court of Claims, in which court H. S. Bulkley filed a petition against the United States to recover damages on a contract for the transportation of army supplies in the West, by which, as he alleged, the government, after having given him notice that it would furnish to him certain supplies for transportation, and not having furnished them (he having made his preparations to transport them), became bound to pay to him the profits which he would have made had the supplies been so furnished and transported.
The Court of Claims decreed against the claim, and he took this appeal.
Messrs. Durant and Horner, for the appellant; Mr. C. H. Hill, Assistant Attorney-General, contra.
Mr. Justice SWAYNE stated the case and delivered the opinion of the court.
