Cooke v. United States (91 U.S. 389)/Dissent Clifford
MR. JUSTICE CLIFFORD, with whom concurred MR. JUSTICE FIELD and MR. JUSTICE BRADLEY, dissenting.
I dissent from the opinion of the court in this case,--
1. Because I am of the opinion that the United States are not liable for forged paper under any circumstances.
2. Because I am of the opinion that the United States are not liable for its paper-promises fraudulently or surreptitiously put into circulation, not even if the fraudulent act was perpetrated by treasury officials.
