In re J. D. Connell Iron Works Co.
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans; E. K. Skinner, Judge. Proceedings in the matter of the liquidation of the J. D. Connell Iron Works Company, in which Otto J. Mayer and another claimed a lien for attorney's fees. From an order allowing the fees and preferring them to other debts, the claimant Robert P. I-Iyams Coal Company, Limited, appeals, and the Metropolitan Bank also appeals from the account of the receivers.
1Opinion of the CourtProvosty, J.
We shall deal with this case only in so far as presented in the briefs.
The case involves oppositions to the account of receivers.
The Metropolitan Bank filed an opposition and took an appeal, but no brief has been filed in its behalf: we assume, therefore, that the opposition has been abandoned.
[1 ] Otto J. Mayer and Charles Karst, mortgage creditors, were not allowed in the account the attorney’s fees stipulated in their favor in their mortgage acts. They opposed on that ground, and were allowed the fees in the judgment appealed from, with rank equal to that of the mortgage.
