In the Matter of the Application of Brooklyn Bar Association in Respect of Alfred J. Wentz, an Attorney and Counselor at Law.
   Respondent held the $600 in trust. It was improper for him to attempt to offset his fee for services against the trust fund. As his attitude in this respect seems to be due to mistake, the charges are dismissed. It is respondent’s duty to account at once for the $600. His claim for services may be asserted through appropriate channels. Present — Lazansky, P. J., Young, Kapper, Carswell and Tompkins, JJ.
