ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS, § 171.1 — when order based on lien petitions will be affirmed. On review of trial court's order in connection with lien petitions, filed by three attorneys successively employed, in connection with single action, by plaintiff who ultimately recovered judgment, trial court having found that attorney originally employed but later discharged was not entitled to attorney's lien but was entitled to certain sum for services rendered; that attorney, who was next employed but also subsequently discharged, and third attorney were entitled to attorneys' liens in given amounts, and having ordered clerk of court to pay over to three attorneys amounts awarded them and to pay balance of judgment to plaintiff, held that, after full consideration of record, Appellate Court was satisfied that trial court made just disposition of issues presented by petitions and that its order should be affirmed (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1943, ch. 13, par. 14; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 9.13).
