50 Ga. 360 | Ga. | 1873
We do not think there was error in the charge of the Court as the case stood. If there was a bona fide suit pending against the administrator for the land, we think he had the right to employ counsel to defend the title of the estate, and to charge the corpus of the estate with the fee. If the fee was reasonable, and a proper fee to be given, and it was fairly and bona fide charged on the land by written contract, we see no reason why it should not be enforced by specific performance.
Judgment reversed.
