121 F. 184 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York | 1903
This cause was tried after plaintiff had settled it with defendant, receiving a sum satisfactory to himself
The services actually rendered seem to be fairly worth about $150. Inasmuch as plaintiff has released his claim, no verdict can be rendered giving him any part of the damages found; he has already been paid them. Verdict, however, will be directed for $150, to which and to the judgment thereon the lien of plaintiff’s attorney will attach. Inasmuch as the recovery is less than $500, the judgment will be without costs.
