Oxford County Rescript.

A rescript Was handed down BY the
law court Tuesday In the Oxford County
case Of Adolphus Orino W. Albert Beli-
veau, sustaining the exceptions OF the
plaintiff.
The rescript per DURHAM IL % follows:
This is an action for money had and
received and comes to the law court up.
on the following exceptions:
wherein plaintiff, as assignee of one
Oscar q. Sullivan, sought to recover the
sum Of six hundred and twenty-five dol.
lars paid to defendant In satisfaction OF
Q Judgment In favor Of said Sullivan
against one Daniel 81. McCafferty enter
ed on Dec. 5, 1917, 10 the supreme judi
cIsl court for Oxford Comfy, and was
tried by the court without the interven-
tion of jury, right to except % to mat.
ters Of law being reserved, and after
hearing the evidence submitted by the
parties and the admissions made by
them the court found and decided and
gave Judgment Id favor OF the defendant
and against the plaintiff and In and by
said fndIngs, decision and judgment
ruled that defendant was entitled to
credit for and on account of said sum Of
1925 for the following amounts, to wit,
for the sum Of $26 applied by defendant
as due him for the costs Of said action
OF Sullivan vs. McCaferty and for the
sum Of $500 applied by defendant 40
com pensation due him for bis services
a. attorney for said Sullivan In said
action under agreement made by and
between said Sullivan and defendant,
and for $3.50 81 paid Rumford Trust Co.
and for $25 paid said Sullivan and to
said rulings, findings, decision and judg.
ment In 80 far ~ thereby defendant was
found entitled to credit for said sum OF
$25 costs and for said sum Of $500 as
agreed compensation and to each of said
rulings, decisions and findings plaintiff
excepts and prays that bis exceptions
may be allowed"
Upon the facts, the justice ordered
Judgment for the defendants from that
finding. 1t appears that the defendant
had collected 1926 on the judgment In
favor of Sullivan and had paid out over
$500 Of It on Sullivan's account and re-
tanned $500 for bis services, under
contract which Sullivan claims to be
champertous. The plaintiff, Sullivan's
assignee, accordingly brought an action
for money had and received for the re-
covery from the defendant OF the $500.
No question is raised as to the money
paid out on Sullivan's account.
There is little question that the agree
ment between Sullivan and the defend
ant was champertous, under the pro.
vision Of R. 8. Chap. 124, Section IL.
Many states, however, hold the other
way.
The defendant claims that, even
though the agreement was champertous,
he Is entitled to receive the value Of bis
services upon quantum meruit. It is
the opinion Of the court, however, that
he cannot 80 recover, and that, conse-
quently, the three hundred dollars
which he held in his hands should not
have been allowed against the plaintiffs
claim.
Exceptions sustained.
