Ingram v. Marston
Ingram v. Marston
Opinion of the Court
This was an action of contract by an attorney at law to recover for professional services and. disbursements. The defendant left with the plaintiff some bills for collection and brought to his office a certain probate matter. It is agreed that the charges as set forth in the declaration were reasonable.
In direct contradiction to the plaintiff’s evidence the defendant testified that the plaintiff agreed to accept a certain percentage of the amount recovered as full compensation in the collection cases; and that he never agreed to be responsible for the legal services in the probate proceedings. He requested the judge
The exceptions are frivolous and appear to have been intended for delay. Upon the motion of the plaintiff the exceptions are overruled with double costs and interest at the rate of twelve per cent from the date when the exceptions were allowed.
So ordered.
