1 The Court will not reexamine the findings of fact made by the Court of Claims upon evidence. P. 260 U. S. 126.

Appeal from a judgment of the Court of Claims dismissing the petition in an action to recover the value of a pier alleged to have been destroyed, and hence taken, by the act of the United States.
