Paul Maddaus, Appellant, v. William Goffen, Respondent.

Opinion:
Memorandum by the Court.
In this action brought by an attorney to impress a trust upon legal fees received by the defendant, another attorney, we are of the opinion that the documentary evidence and quoted extracts from public records do not prove facts to establish prima facie any of the defenses set forth in the answer. The order appealed from should be reversed, with $20 costs, and the motion denied.
