Rogers v. Randel

Assumpsit lies for an attorney’s fee.

In this case the plaintiff recovered two thousand one hundred and eighty four dollars, for services rendered as attorney and counsel for the defendant in the cases of Randel vs. Wright; Randel vs. The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company, and other cases growing out of them.

The declaration was on a special contract, with a quantum meruit count; on which last the recovery was had, the plaintiff having failed to prove the special contract.
