ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS, § 146^_ — action for services, insufficiency of evidence. In action for legal services, evidence showed that plaintiff was retained by corporation more than two years after its dissolution, plaintiff did not investigate to determine if corporation was a legal entity, individual defendants did not hire plaintiff to represent them nor did they prevent him from learning of corporation's dissolution, and there was no evidence offered as to time or worth of such services; hence verdict and judgment for plaintiff would have to be reversed.
