Decided March 1, 1926

APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS

Syllabus

A petition relying upon fraud and coercion to overcome a release of the claim sued on must state distinctly the particular acts, specifying by whom and in what manner they were perpetrated, so that the court may see that, if proven, they would warrant the setting aside of the settlement.

59 Ct.Cls. 972 affirmed.
