COURT OF COMMON PLEAS

(Before the full Court)

Nov. 14. — Driscoll v. Pluck. — Mr. O’Dricoll1 applied, on behalf of the plaintiff, to set aside the defence. The action was brought to recover a sum of £39 10s. 1d., due by the defendant to her attorney for costs, and the defence was that the work was done for the defendant as administratrix of Denis Pluck, whose estate was being administered in the Court of Chancery, and, therefore, an action at law did not lie. Counsel contended that such a defence was clearly bad, inasmuch as the costs were incurred for matters not at all connected with the defendant as administratrix, but on her private retainer. The Court granted the application, with costs.
