4 Wash. 534 | Wash. | 1892
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The appellant, as administrator of the estate of Young, deceased, collected $4,300 as damages from the Northern Pacific Railroad Company for causing the death of his decedent. In presenting his final account he claimed nothing as commission, but asked to be allowed $1,333.33 for money paid to himself as attorney for the heir in prosecuting and collecting the claim against the railroad company. The court disallowed the demand, but allowed the usual commissions.
We concur in the action of the court below, and the order appealed from is therefore affirmed.
Anders, C. J., and Hoyt, Scott and Dunbar, JJ., concur.
