LIST OF SUPR E.
COURT DECISIONS
Announced June Q. 1920.

Elfego Baca, appellee, VS.. zaca-
rias Padilla, appellant; Socorro
county-No. 1913.
| Appellee brought this suit to re-
cover the sum of $4,000 alleged to
be due on contract to perform
| professional services as an attorney
at law for the appellant, at his re-
quest, in the prosecution of certain
| criminal cases pending in Valencia
county, n. M, for which services II
vas alleged appellant agreed to pay
the appellee a reasonable fee. APP
| pellant filed a general denial and
also plead payment and the statute
Of limitations. The case was tried
to the court and after evidence was
heard, the court made a general
finding that plaintiff was entitled to
recover the sum of $500 from this
judgment this appeal is prosecuted.
Judgment of the court below, al
firmed.
Syllabus by the Court.
l. Section 1860, Code 1915, by
implication authorizes the appear
ance of private counsel on behalf
of the state in criminal proceedings,
Oi OluSI VI lllS SOulh VIVA lhS
consent of the district attorney Or
attorney general"
2. Contracts by attorneys at
law for contingent fees are general.
ly upheld by the courts, but a con-
tract by an attorney at law to as
sist in the prosecution of a criminal
case for a contingent fee depend
ent upon the conviction of the ac-
cused, is contrary to public policy.
3. When an attorney at law en-
ters into a contract with another to
ASSIST in the prosecution of a Grim
NAL case for the contingent fee, the
contract is void and there can be
no recovery on the contract, but
such contract is not inherently
nahum in Sc or nahum prohibitum,
and the attorney may recover the
reasonable value of his services on
a quantum meruit.
4. When the illegally, either in
whole or in part, Is in the thing |
which the party seeking to recover |
was to do, then there can be no re-
coVery upon quantunl merult, |
but where the illegality was not in |
what the plaintiff was to do but in
the manner in which he was to be |
for doing the legal
hing, then he can recover upon
luantum meruit for the reasonable
value of his services.
