Resolved, That we demand the removal

earnestly request and urge our delegate in

ATTORNEYS FEE ENT.:,
In the case of Milton W. Bailey it is held
Assistant Secretary Davis, April 10, 1883 J
that where a pension under the act OF
June 27, 1890, is withheld for the purpose
cf reimbursing the United States for
money paid to a claimant in a fraudulent
claim under the general law, payment OF
fee need not be made until the United
States has been reimbursed in full, but II
payment of fee is made prior thereto the
attorney can not be compelled to refund,
if otherwise entitled" In this case the
attorneys fee on the pension allowance
from which the Government is relmbuLs-
ing itself was inadvertently paid to the
recognized attorney, but on discovering
it's error the Bureau required the attorney
to refund the fee. This action is dis
approved, and the fee will be repaid to the
attorney. The decision says: "The rignt,
of recoupment rests against the clalmaht
not against his creditors, and among them
stand the appellants. The Cove rnment,
acting as the agent OF the claimant, under
authority evidenced by an instrument
executed in accordance with formula,
the observance of which, it is we'll known,
is strictly enforced in every instance, pald
the appellants a fee of $40. This fee mad
been earned. Now, presuming that re-
cOvery i'm an action at law from the claim
ant lies on tne part Oi the NoSSiHhS,t
based on the payment of pension in the
valid claim, it does not follow that said
action lies against his creditors to whom
he may have paid the money which he
received from the pension agent; and, as
said before, the appellants are his credit
ors These appellants have been paid in
legal manner fee which they earned,
and this without solicitation or fraud upon
their part. The conclusion is Irresistible
that they are entitled to the fee which
has been paid them.
at is contended that the refundment
by the appellants of the fee paid them
upon the demand of the Bureau is their
voluntary act. This view cannot be ac-
cepted. The rules of practice require that
an attorney shall refund in a case where
fee has been paid him, upon demand OF
the Bureau, before his appeal from the
action of the Bureau denying him fee
will be entertained. Therefore such dis
posal of the fee as is suggested in the
report of the Bureau cannot be made; the
fee should be returned to the appellants,
unaccompanied by any directions as to
it's disposal. Therefore the action OF the
Bureau in requiring appellants to refund
the fee which has been paid them is not
approved"
