chancery suit brought against her by J. g.

his legal services as counsel for her husband,

that his appearance as counsel for her hus-
band was voluntary. She denies that her
husband was without means, but believes
that he did not pay Bigelow because he
value, although he made use of Bigelow's
service. She states that the sum subscribed
for her and her child was $7,i00,
$2367.17 Of which is now in Rggs's

have appeared in New York and before the
supreme court for her husband, but his SER
vices wero entirely voluntary. She denies
any knowledge of expenses incurred by

he volunteered his services for his own glori-
ficatiOn and benefit. She never promised to
pay him from the fund, or to reimburse him
for outlays and expenditures. She states that
