L. v. 14, p. 377), provision was made for erection of a United States penitentiary in Washington Territory, the amount to be expended for this purpose being limited to $20,000. It was located on McNeil Island, Wash. The act approved Feb. 22. 1873 (Stat. L. v. 17, p. 475) authorized an increased sum of $20,000, and in 1874 an additional appropriation of about $7,000 was made. No further appropriations were specifically made for this penitentiary up to 1897, its expenses being defrayed from the general appropriations for support of United States prisoners. There have since been several specific appropriations, the most notable of which is the sundry civil act approved Mar. 3, 1903 (Stat. L. v. 32, pt. 1, p. 1144), which appropriated $30,000 for construction of additional buildings, prison wall, and wharf. The organic act provided that the erection of the building should be under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior.

The inability of these committees to examine fully all the claims submitted, and the difficulty of getting Congress to appropriate money for the payment of such claims as were favorably reported, amounted often to a denial of justice. By an act approved Feb. 25, 1855, a court for the hearing of private claims was established. It was, however, required to submit its findings, with briefs and testimony, to Congress, where they were referred to committees as before, and the resulting delay and injustice were but little mitigated. On Mar. 3, 1863, an amendatory act was passed making the Court of Claims really a court, its findings no longer subject to review by Congress, but providing for an appeal to the Supreme Court.
