rendered a decision in the exceptions of |
Julius L. Brown TO the report of Special |
Master John T. Pendleton, on the amount |
that Mr.. Brown should be allowed as
counsel for the receiver of the Western
and Atlantic railroad. The decision gives /
Mr.. Brown $500 more than he would have
received under the report of the specai
master. The special master allowed Mr.
Brown $4,000 for filing the receivership bin
IN the case and $4,000 as attorney for
the receivers. From this amount was to
be deducted $500 allowed him during the
receiVership and $500 paid him as retain
ers before the appointment of the receiv-
ers. Judge Newman held that the 81 30
paid Mr.. Brown as retainers in cases be-
fore the receiVerShiD should not be charg-
ed against him. This will increase Mr..
Browns fee g, 500. In the exceptions Of

Newman confirms the decision. The mas
ter held that during the latter part of his |
life Joseph +. Brown was unable to act |
as receiver and that for awhile Mr. Stahl-
man was the only receiver in charge and |
for this reason he gave Mr.. Stahlman 5000 |
more than he allowed Mr.. Brown. The /
Judge confirmed this decision.
