Opinion of the Court
Mr. Chief Justice Waite

Mr. Chief Justice Waite delivered the opinion of the court.

We are clearly of the opinion that the acceptance by the claimant, without objection, of the amount allowed b.y the Secretary of the Navy, in his adjustment of the account presented to him, was equivalent to a final ¿ettlement arid compromise of all the items of the present claim included in that account. There is nothing in the findings of the court below to warrant a judgment in favor of the claimant upon the only item included in the petition in this case which was not mentioned specifically in the account presented to the Secretary of the Navy and passed on by him in the adjustment he made.

Judgment affirmed.
