Opinion filed December 23, 1896.

Contracts—with State officer for services. A claim for services performed for the State under written contract with the Attorney General, and accepted by him, with no objection or defense to the claim being interposed by the State, will be allowed.

It appears from the evidence that the surveys were made and the maps delivered to the Attorney General on the 31st day of March, 1896, in compliance with the contract, and the same were accepted by the Attorney General.

Eo objection or defense to the claim being interposed by or on behalf of the State, the claimant is awarded the sum of five hundred dollars.
