Nicoll v. Nicoll , 1 Lock. Rev. Cas. 37 ( 1799 )

The Court of Errors, in this case held, that an attorney’s lien for his costs is no bar to a bill in chancery, filed to obtain a set off against the client; nor is it a bar when the question arises on a trial at law. The decree of the Chancellor sustaining the lien was therefore reversed. 13 for reversal, 8 for affirmation.
