Lindsay v. Howerton
SYLLABUS
The commissioners, in this case, appointed to settle the defendant's administration account, refused to allow some charges made for fees paid to counsel, because they were for more than the law allowed.
OPINION
PER CURIAM.
There can be no doubt but that the defendant has paid those fees on account of his intestate's estate; and, as he could not do without the aid of counsel, whose conduct he could not regulate, he should be allowed the sums he has paid. The Court, in giving this opinion, is supported by the opinion of the former Chancellor, as appears by his notes in this very case.
