Carroll v. Cash Mills

Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Justice Fraser.

This is an appeal from an order, made by Judge Sease, fixing the compensation of W. C. Hamrick, as receiver of the Cash Mills, at $7,500.00; the fee of Messrs. Butler & Hall, attorneys for the receiver, of $6,000.00; and the fee of Messrs. Dobson & Vassy, assistant attorneys for the receiver, of $1,500.00.

*507 The Cash Mills was insolvent, and Mr. Hamrick was appointed receiver. The Cash Mills was sold for $300,000.00 cash. There is but one question in the case, and that is as to the amount of these allowances. The amount is within the discretion of the Circuit Judge, and it does not appear that Judge Sease abused his discretion.

The order appealed from is affirmed.

Mr. Justice Cothran not participating.
