vision of Commission on
Legal Business.

William A. Lord, former city coun-
sci of Orange and prominent law,
yer. figured as defendant today in a
suit brought in the Orange District
Court for the recovery of so per cent.
commissions on legal business
handled by him. The case created a
sensation.
Daniel A. Warren is suing Lord for
s24O, alleged to be due him for services
in bringing business to Lord He
claims in his petition that he had an
agreement whereby Lord was to pay
HIM so per cent. of the fees in each
case. According to Warren these
cases were of various kinds and half
the total fees amount to the sum
sued for.
Lord admits that he did have some
sort of an agreement with Warren.
but sets forth as a counter claim a
mortgage for $175. alleged to be owing
him from the complainant.
Judge Daniel A Dugan. before
whom the case came, reserved de-

of solicitors by lawyers, hence the
allegations against Lord caused much
