Matter of Orvis

In Matter of Orvis, 223 N.Y. 1, 119 N.E. 88, 3 A.L.R. 1636. And in looking for the essential character of what was done we are not controlled nor are we aided by our decisions in Ferguson v. Dickson, 300 F. 961, and McCaughn v. Carver, 19 F.2d 126, or by the decisions in Bradley v. Nichols (D.C.) 13 F.2d 857, and Lincoln v. United States, 65 Court of Claims, ___, because these decisions were rested on essentially different facts.
