TURNER v. BOGER.

Supreme Court of North Carolina,
April 3. 1900.
A PROVISION IN a DEED OF
TRUST THAT IN CASE OF A SALE
THE TRUSTEE SHOULD FROM
THE PROCEEDS PAY AN ATTOR-
NEY'S FEE AS PART OF THE EX-
PENSE is VOID AS AGAINST
PUBLIC POLICY.
The Court says:
In 1887 the plaintiffs intes.ate exc
cuted deed Of trust TO the defendant
10 secure a debt to DEFENDANTS wife. in
which it Is stipulated that. in case sale
should be made under the trust, out of
the moneys arising from, such sale. the
sa!d Martin Eoger. trustee or legal rep

interest of the Indebtedness hereby Sc
cured, together with all legal costs and
reasonable charges in executing this
trust. including an attorneys fee of 5
per cent"
s':pulation is n promisso~y note
that In case this note is collected by
legal process the usual collection fee
shall be due and payable" was held
contrary to public policy, ana invalid
ton is contrary to public policy in a
note which has to be collected by aid
of the courts. fer Il stronger reason the
stipulation would be invalid in a. mort
gage or deed of trust. where the OPP
portunlty for oppression is greater. 1t
Is true that a stipulation for compen-

in addition to actual expenses, IL rea-
sonable. would be sustained. though, IL
a cloak fer usury. it would not be.
And. If the rate of compensation is not
specified, probably by analogy, the COM
mission allowed for making sale in
partition would be reasonable. But in
this trust deed the stipulation is not

torney's fees shall be added thereto.
The consent judgment eliminated the
provision for commissions to the trus-
tee by stipulating that only legal and
necessary expenses" of sale should be
charged, and all such expenses claimed
by defendant have been paid. The
answer AYERS that the per cent was
charged for services of defendants at
torney. and that they were reasonable

they must be paid by the defendant at
whose request they were rendered, and
cannot be charged against the debtor,

IprFIfed.


The Court says:
Upon the issue in this case it was in
cumbent upon the appellant to produce
some evidence to support Il contract,
express or implied. between appellant
and her deceased father that she was
to be paid for her services. The recog-
nized rule in such cases is that when a
child, after reaching majority, resides
with the parent as n member of his
family, and renders services for the pa
rent, the law does not imply an obliga-
ton to pay for such SERVICES; on the
contrary. the presumption is that no
compensation as wages is intended. An
express contract to pay will render the
parent liable. and an implied contract
to pay a reasonable compensation may
be inferred from facts and circum-
stances which tend TO rebut the pre-
sumption arising from such a relation
In the case at bar the evidence wholly
fails to show the existence OF an ex-
press contract to pay for the services
rendered. The surrounding circum-
stances, as shown by the evidence, ex-
cluded any other inference than that
the parties intended that the family
relation should exist. No evidence was
produced from which contract, either
express or implied. could be reasonably
inferred.

S|G STE|NER'S
 POKER CAME BETS
Plaintiff Says That He is Con- tending for Only What
 is Fair.

The New York Times of Wednesday con- tains this explanation of the legal action of Sigfried Steiner on account of certain bets
 e A. Mountjoy, attorney for Sgfried Steiner of Birmingham Ala, in the lat ter's suit for the recovery of certain stakes posted on the steamship New York last year, says:
 [" Tn the matter of the action of Siegfried Steiner against Edward Wasserman of this city, to which reference was made in yes- terday's papers, the statements of the papers may be misleading. My informa tion is that there is dispute as to what the bets really were. According to MT Stein- CTS construction of what the bet was, he won; and under the most favorable yer sion of the case for the other side, neither party won, and each person would be en- titled to his money back
 "I am informed that MT. Wasserman declined to pay the money to either party, although both claimed to have won the wager, and suggested to MT Steiner to bring suit to determine the rightful winner of it. My client, MT Steiner does not care for the $100 or so, but is contending for what he thinks is fair and just to him, and that is all there is to it.

THE PRODUCE MARKET
Eggs Shade Lower-Fruits and Vege-
 bles in Good Supply

The market for eggs and chickens has been somewhat dull this week. Eggs have declined from IS cents to 17h cents No ? eggs are quoted at 1872 cents but very few of this grade are wanted in Birmingham and the receipts therefore are light. The market has been quite well supplied with chickens for two or three days past and while the demand has not been so active as it was last week, quotations remain un- changed. The butter trade is quiet
 Sweet and Irish potatoes cabbage and onions are selling well. Morris avenue merchants dispose of four carloads of cabbage per week. This product comes from Virginia, Missouri and Michigan anu is in excellent condition. The sweet po- tato supply is obtained just now almost entirely from Cullman. The quality is first class and the ruling price yesterday was s2.25 per barrel.
 The fruit market was not so active yes- terday as it was earlier in the week. Southern peaches are almost gone and the California article is bought as a rule only for the fruit stands. Grapes continue to come from Tallapoosa County but in rather limited supply.
 7, The watermelon season Is drawing to a close, but Gacopazzi & Co. will have two carloads of the large striped Indiana va riety this morning. Watermelons sold early in the week al 20 to 20 cents wholesale but the consignments today will go at IS to 20 cents.
