The facts set out in the declaration are few and brief, and clearly show that in keeping the accounts as indicated an error might easily be made, and such was the case.\nThe Attorney General admits the justice of the contention and consents that they made an order allowing the same.\nThe claim is sworn to and no objections to its allowance being made it is the order of the Court that complainant to have and recover the sum of twelve hundred and forty and 54/100 dollars ($1,240.54) against the State of Illinois, and an appropriation for same is recommended.",
