SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Delivered at Atlanta, Tuesday, Mar. ID, ’72.
Morrison, Heard & Oo., yb. E. O. Ponder,
et aL Equity from Fulton.
WARNER, 0. J.
This was a motion mode in the Superi
or Court to distribute the sum of $3,476
from the sale of one-half of a lot in the
city of Atlanta, sold nnder the order and
decree of a court of equity, as the pro
perty of Ponder.
By the written consent of the parties,
both the facts and the law were submitted
to the Judge of the Superior Court iu
lieu of a jury upon an agreod statement
of the facta.
On the hearing of the cose, the main
question between the contesting parties
was in relation to the lien of the attor
neys who had brought the money into
Court under decree, and a judgment
creditor of Ponder.
The oourt decided that the sum of
$1,500 should be paid to Calhoun & Son,
as well as certain specified fees to other
counsel in the case; bnt os no complaint
was made in this court as to the allowance
of attorney’s fees, except as to the fee of
Calhonn A Son, our judgment will be
confined to their claim.
It appears from the facts disclosed by
the record that in the year 1861, Ponder
employed Calhoun Sc Son as his original
counsel to institute on action for divorce
against his wife, Ellen Ponder, and to
file a bill on the equity side of the coart
to set aside a deed made by Ponder to
his wife, embracing a large amount of
property, mostly slaves. The complain
ant contracted to poy them for their ser
vices the sum of $260, certain, and the
sum of $2,500 on condition that the liti
gation should bo determined in liis fsvor.
The litigation continued about ten
years, and by the results of the war, all
the property was lost except the city lot
in the city of Atlanta.
In January, 1871, a decree was tuken
by the consent of the parties litigant,
that the city lotsbould be the joiut prop
erty of the complainant and defendant,
and that the same should be sold, and
the proceeds thereof, after paying costs
of suits, etc., should be paid, ono-hulf to
the counseled the respective parties, to
be by such ‘counsel paid over to their re
spective clients, subject only to such
liens for the fees of all counsel concerned,
may exist by law, or may be usually
recognized by Courts of Equity. The
liens of counsel shall, until the snlo, be
in full force against the land itself.
In November, 1870, Morrison Heard A
Co., obtained a judgment against Ponder
in the District Court of the United States
for the sum of $2,450. After the decree
rendered for the sale of tho lot, (to
wit, in Fobruary, 1871,) Ponder, aDd
Calhoun A Son had a settlement in re
gard to their fee, by which they agreod
to give up to Ponder his original obliga
tion to pay the conditional fee of $2,500,
and took his note for $1,500 as the
amount due them for their services os his
counsel in the divorce and equity coses.
What is the law applicable to the facts
disclosed in the record? The 1970 sec
tion of the Code declares that the Attor
ney’s lien shall attach for liis fees upon
all property recovered by his services,and
shall be superior to all other liens tlioro-
on. The one-half of the city lot wa- re
covered, and the proceeds of the Hale
thereof was hi ought into court by the ser
vices of Calhoun A Son, the original
counsel in the case; and the decree of the
Court of Equity which vested the title to
the one-half of the lot in Ponder, ex
pressly declares that tho lions of counsel
shall, until tho sale thereof, be in full
force against the land itself, and conse
quently was a lien ou the proceeds oFthe
sale of the laud.
When the judgment creditor obtained
his judgment against Ponder, the latter
had no interest in the lot which could
have been levied on and sold as the prop
erty of Ponder. Ponder’s interest in
the property occurred only from the date
of the decree, and that interest was sub
ject to the lien of tho attorney’s fees,
and the judgment creditor of Ponder
bas no greater or better chum to the pro
ceeds of the sale of tho lot than Ponder
himrelf had. Ponder took tho one-half
of the lot under the decree subject to
the attorney’s lien for the fees due them,
and his judgment creditors are in no
better condition than Ponder. The at
torney’s have a superior lien on the land
and the proceeds of the sale thereof for
the fees due them for services rendered
in recovering the property, either as
against Ponder or his judgment creditors.
The only remaining question is,
whether tho evidence disclosed by the
record is sufficient to sustain the judg
ment of the Court in awarding the sum
of $1,500 to Calhoun A Son for their
professional services in the two cases in
which they were retained by Ponder ?
Tho evidence is, that they were his origi
nal counsel, drafted the libel for divorce,
and the bill in equity, in 1861, and have
rendered services in the two cases ever
since, a period of about ten years; princi
pally made out the interrogatories for one
side, and crossed them for tho other side,
carried on the correspondence with the
complainant,and counseled and conferred
with him at all times when called on;
besides, there is the written contraot of
Ponder, promising to pay them $1,500
for their services in the two cases.
There is a disclaimer of any fraud or
collusion l*etween Ponder and Calhoun A
Bon, to defeat tho claim of the judg
ment creditor iu taking the note of Pon
der for the $1,500, in February, 1871,
aud no evidence was offered lo shosr that
their services were not worth tbst
amount. The judgment of the Court,
therefore, allowing them $1,500 for their
professional services in tho two cases,
cannot be said to be so strongly, and de
cidedly, against ^the weight of '-In evi
dence as to authorize this Court to set it
aside and order a new trial. Let the
judgment of the Court below be affirmed.

WARNER, C. J.
This was an action brought by the
_ plaintiff as an attorney at law, against
msncntiy, tiixu *u oiher remedies ersr known to ihs {j^ defendant for professional services.
the particular law case, aud (ho other
was ou an account staled.
Ou the trial of the case, tho jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of
$557 27. The court below set Midi tho
verdict and grauted a now trial: whereup
on the plaintiff excepted.
It appears from the lecord that the
plaintiff testified that on tho 9th day of
August, 1870, James B. Lofton, the do
fendaut’s intestate, died, leaving tho de
fendant his executrix and principal lega
tee; that soon after tho testator’s death
and burial, the defendant employed the
plaintiff to counsel and advise her in the
winding np and settlement of the estate,
for which service he told her be would
not cliargo exceeding five hundred dol
lars; that he rendered services in having
the will admitted to probate, both iu
common and solemu form, went to her
house to counsel and advise her, etc.
In a short time the parties disagreed
about the fee to be paid, and the de
fendant notified the plaintiff that she did
not desire his services any longer, where
upon this suit was instituted.
The plaintiff was not entitled to recover
on the alleged special contract, bccaui
tho suit was instituted before the expira
tion of twelve months from the time of
tho defendant’s qualification as oxecu-
trix, the shortest time within which the
estate could have been settled and wound
np according to law—the suit having been
instituted on the 27th of August, 1870,
and the testator died on the ninth day
of the sumo month—according to the
plaintiff’s evidence.
Although tho plaintiff was entitled to
recover on the account stated for his
professional services rendered the defend
ant up to the time of his discharge as her
attorney, whatever amount thoso services
were proved to have been worth, the
legal difficulty in the way of sustaining
the verdict of that court in the declara
tion, is the fact that the evidence in the
record does not show what those services
were worth.
It is not sufficient to entitle tbo plain
tiff to recover, to prove that lie has ren
dered professional services to the de
fendant; he must prove what those ser
vices were worth. There being no evi
dence os to tbo value of the services ren
dered, there was no error in tho court
below in setting the verdict aside and
ordering a new trial. This was not such
a contract for a feo in the case as would
authorize the plaintiff to recover ono-
half of five hundred dollars as a retainer
under the provisions of the 441sfc section
of the Code. Let tho judgment of the
court below be affirmed.
E. N. Broyles for plaintiff in error ;
Hill A Candler, contra.
J. H. Porter vs*Lively AMcElroy. Levy
from Fulton.
WARNER, O. J.
On the 10th of March, 1871, an execu
tion was issued on an affidavit made by
Lively A McElroy, tho owners of a steam
saw mill, to enforco alien for lumber sold
and furnished to one Mobley, of tho value
of $62.92, which lumber was.to fence and
enclose the place, and build a stable or
cow bouse on the lot upon which Mobley
then resided and claimed as tho owner;
that tho money was duo for tho lumber
since the 10th day of May, 1870; that
demand had been made for the payment
of the same, which was refused, but does
not state on whom the demand for the
payment of tho lumber was made and re
fused, nor does tho affidavit state that
the plaintiffs* steam sawmill is located in
the State of Georgia.
The execution was levied on the prop
erty described in the affidavit by the
Sheriff. Afterwards an affidavit was
tiled by Porter, claiming to bo the owner
of tho premises on which tho fixtures
were erected with the lumber furnished
by the plaintiffs to Mobley, denying
their lien for the following reasons: that
Mobley held the premises under a bond
for title from him; that he is tho owner
of the samo, that no part of tho purchase
money therefore had been paid, that
about the 1st December, 1870, the con
tract for tho sale of the land between
him and Mobley was rescinded, he tak
ing up his bond, first paying to a party
to whom Mobley had pledged his bond,
in the sum of $592.95, when Mobley
gave up to Porter all right and claim to
tho premises.
On the trial of the case it was agreed
by the respective parties to submit tho
questions involved in it to the presiding
Judge without tho interventiou of a
jury.
The counsel for Porter made a motion
to dismiss plaintiff’s affidavit, because it
was not nlleged therein that their steam
saw mill was located in the State of Geor
gia, and because the affidavit of the plain
tiffs did not state on whom tho demaud
for payment was made.
The Court overruled tho motion to dis
miss plaintiff’s affidavit, and on motion
of plaintiffs counsel dismissed Porter’s
affidavit on the ground that lie had no
right to arrest tho proceedings under the
plaintiff’s ft fa. in tho manner which he
sought to do, whereupon tho defendant,
Porter, excepted.
Tn our judgment, the plaintiffs should
have made a demand for payment for the
lumbor, uot only of Mobley, to whom the
lumber was furnished, but also of Porter,
tho assignee of Mobley, if he was in pos
session of tho premises on which the fix
tures were erected with their lumber
which had not been paid for, and should
have alleged a refusal to pay for the sumo
on the part of both. As these summary
remedies are to be strictly construed, the
plaintiffs should have alleged in their
affidavit that their steam saw mill was
located in the State of Georgia, inasmuch
as the lieu is only given to the owners of
steam saw mills located iu this State by
Act of 1868 and the amendatory Act of
1870. If a demand had been made on
Porter for payment of the lumber, aud
payment had been refused with au aver
ment that he was iu possession of the
premises, then he would have been a
proper party to have made a counter affi
davit contesting the plaintiff’s lien. Let
the judgment of the Court below bo re
versed.

McCAY, J.
When a railroad company, by its
agents, takes the faro of a passenger to a
particular station on its road, it is bound
to stop at that station that ho may get off
tho cars. It is not sufficient that the
speed of the cars is slacked; and if, nftcr
passing the station, the speed of the ears
is agaiu slacked that the passenger may
get off, and under tho| direction of the
conductor. does get off, aud iu so do

It is not want of ordinary care if a pas
senger was prudent, by the moans which
a company uffords him to get off the

1. An opiuion formed and expressed
from hearsay us to tho guilt of tho uc
cased does not disqualily a juror from
trying tho case.
2. It is no ground for challenge to the
array that some, of the jurors were sum
moned by a bailiff,in attendance upon the
Court, and under its direction, unless
the defendant shows that his is in somo
way prejudiced thereby.
3. That a witness did not hear all of a
conversation of defendant about which
he is called to testify, is no ground of
objection to liis stating so much of it as
ho did hear.
4. Tho defendant cannot give in evi
dence his own 8tying ns to when a cer
tain injury was inflicted upon him, and
who inflicted it, mado to liis physician
two or three days after the perpetration
of tho act for which lie is indicted.
It is uot error in the Court to refuse
to charge: tho jury that if they have a
reasonable doubt as to the sanity of the
prisoner, they should ucquit. Whore
he charges them, “If, after acarefnl sur
vey of all tho testimony, you liavo a reas
onable doubt of the defendant'll guilt,
you will ucquit him."
6. A juror’s affidavit will uot be re
ceived to impeach his own verdict.
7. Mere information to a jury that u
bet has been made by a named person
to the result of their verdict, without
more, is no ground for setting tho ver
dict aside.
8. Misconduct ou tho part of the jury,
while they have the case under conside
ration, from which injury might have re
sulted to tho defendant, throws tho bur
den upon the Shite to show affirmatively
that no such injury has resulted. In this
case, the State has done so.
9. The verdict in this ease was not

is the charge of the court inapplici
