LIE DUO v. sLocoMB.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.
April 4. 1899.
WHERE THE PLAINTIFF IN A
SUIT. IN VIOLATION OF HIS
AGREEMENT WITH THE DEFEN-
DENT. FAILS TO GIVE THE LAT
TER A CREDIT, BUT TAKES A
JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT FOR
THE WHOLE DEBT. DEFENDANT
HAS NO EQUITY AGAINST THE
JUDGMENT IN THE HANDS OF A
PURCHASER WITHOUT NOTICE
OF THE AGREEMENT.
This was motion to set aside a
judgment by default recovered by the
Peoples National Bank against Slo-
the receiver of said bank to one Ray.
Slocomb and Rosenthal were bound to-
gether with others on a debt to said
bank and in consideration OF their pay
ing their share of the debt, the bank
agreed with them to enter-a non suit
as to them in the suit which was then
pending. on such debt. This agreement
the bank failed to keep and Judgment
by default was entered in the suit
against Slocomb and the other defen-
dants. The bank went into the hands
or a receiver. it's assets were sold and
~Ne@J oSo6hl JuuBIlcHI without
having any notice of the agreement
above mentioned. The lower court re-
fused to set aside the Judgment and
Slocomb appealed.
The court says:
Parties to an action, when brought
IN. must take notice Of all orders and
judgments made therein; and this case
Is an illustration of the consequence of
failure to attend and take actual no.
tice or the proceedings. The defendant
rallied to answer the complaint. and
Judgment final by default was entered.
Inc Judgment Is regular In all respects.
ana has no infirmlty in 1t. The defen-
dant had a private written agreement
with the bank that no Judgment should
pc entered at that term OF the court
Ihis agreement was not filed, or
brought to the attention of the court.
Inere was. then, only a breach of said
contract, which In no way affects the
regularity of the Judgment. The defen-
uant has no equitable ground for his
motion to set the Judgment aside, be-
cause 1t Is admitted the defendant owed
and was liable for the debt, and that
the judgment was entered for the true
amount. and the plaintiff agrees to
credit the Judgment with the amount
paid by the defendant before Judgment.
There was. then, no equity to follow tho
judgment into the hands of the as
signee or purchaser of the Judgment.
who took 1t without notice of said
agreement between the original parties.
There Is another ground fatal to the
defendants motion.-that he does not
IN MS affidavit or otherwise, allege that
ne has any meritorious defense to the
action If the Judgment should be set
aside. The mover in such cases must
at least set forth n case amounting
prima facie to n valid defense. TO he
determined by the court, and not by
the party. The party aggrieved must
move to vacate a judgment before the
rights OF innocent third parties have
interviewed. Affirmed.

DAVIS v. WEBER.
Supreme Court of Arkansas,
February II. 1899.

A STIPULATION. IN A CONTRACT
FOR ATTORNEYS FEES FOR
PROSECUTING A SUIT,TIIAT THE
CLIENT SHOULD NOT SETTLE
THE CONTROVERSY WITHOUT,
THE ATTORNEYS CONSENT, IS
VOID. AS AGAINST PUBLIC POL
ICY.
This was suit by Weber against
Davis to recover for services as an at
torney- at-law, under a certain contract
and to enforce a. lien for same The
contract provided that0Webber should
have certain per cent. of a claim
which he was to bring suit to collect
and further that Davis was not to make
any settlement of the claim without
Webber's consent. Weber brought
suit and obtained Judgment on the
claim. and afterwards Davis settled the
judgment without paying Webber's fee
and without his consent. There were
several defenses presented, but there
was q judgment for plaintiff and de-
fendant appealed.
The court, after holding that the con-
tract, because 1t related to the pay
ment of g. fee, was not void, says:
But the contention that 1.-THE provis-
lon in the contract preventing Davis
from settling the controversy without
the consent Of Weber is void" is well
taken. Such a stipulation is against
public policy. 1.-THE law" says Judge
Dillon, encourages the amicable adj
5ustment OF disputes. and a construc-
tion of n contract which would operate
to prevent the client from settling will
not be favored" The impeachment of
the contract under consideration Is Pc
culiarly proper upon the ground of pub
lie policy. regardless of the fairness
and good faith of the parties in execuk-
Ing 1t. We would not call in question
the good faith Of the parties to the
contract. The record would not justify
our doing so. Webber was perfectly
willing to take the penalty for his fee,
and risk the chance of recovering it.
This. at the time. was doubtless con-
sidered an admirable arrangement by
both, and. but for the clause prohibit
ing Davis. making a settlement without
the assent of Weber, we can see no
objection to it, This clause was fatal
to the entire contract. 1t Is not sew
cradle from 1t. 1t seems to have been
an inducement for entering upon the
contract. 1t is impossible for us to say
that the parties would have entered
upon the contract at all without this

CONVINCING PROOF.

The great Sir Isaac Newton, one Of the most
profound reasoners the world produced,
once cut large hole in board fence to allow a
favorite cat access to two gardens and cut a
smaller hole to allow her kitten to follow her.
The weakness manifested in Sir Isaacs action
was due to want of thought. ANY reader who

Doan'a Kidney Pills and arrives at any other con-
cluson than that stated In this citizens state
