Nicoll and others, appellants, v. Nicoll, respondent, 16 Wend. 446.
    
      Attorney's Lien for Costs.
    
   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.
