ATTORNEY COFFIN
CANNOT RECOVER

In an opinion handed down by
the Idaho supreme court last week.
Thos. G. Coffin, attorney for the state
in an action where Il recovered a
Judgment for $145, 900 against the
National Surety company for the en-
oezzlement OF state funds by former
State Treasurer o. v. Allen. was de-
MED the right to recover his ATTORNEY
fees and expenses. Mr.. Coffin claim
cd $12,600 for his fees and III 20O
for expenses, and succeeded in get
ting an injunction in the lower court
10 prevent the National Surety COM
pany from paying that amount TO
the state.
Justice Alfred Bulge, who rem
dered the opinion of the court, said (:
IL may be conceded that IL there
were an action against . private in
dividual, the appellants (Mr. Cot
fin's) claim would be enforceable
but this is claim against the state
and cannot be recovered unless sucf
recovery 10 expressly Authorized by
law. The law provides that claimt
against the state must be laid before
the state board OF examiners for ap
prevail. or II disapproved the claim.
ant may bring an action In this court
to secure q recommendatory tudg
ment to submit TO the legislature
Governmental affairs must not b.
embarrassed, however. by the seiz
ure OF public funds to pay the debts
of individuals IN any event the ap
pellant would have no lien for his
fees and EXPENSES, in this case, fol
the reason that no state board or of
ficer had authority to employ him
The state can only act through its
officials. and as no state official had
authority to employ appellant, he
could not be employed to represent
the state and could make no claim
against the state for services rem
dered or expenses incurred under
any unauthorized employment.
A dissenting opinion was filed by
Chief Justice Sullivan, who main
tanned that inasmuch as the state
had accepted Mr.. Coffin's services, II
vas morally bound to pay for them,
and II there was no appropriation
out Of which the amount might be
paid that 1t should be allowed as
lien against the judgment due from
the National Surety company to the
state.
