					General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present.  The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

    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. 
    Appeal from a judgment of the Court of Claims dismissing a petition on demurrer.
