New York Supreme Court · decided 1807-05-15

<p>An attorney is proceed"in suit unless the client pa> s his costs •. nor wil the court compel him to proceed without his costs are paid or secured.</p>

Decided 1807-05-15

Per Curiam.

¶1The conduct of the attorney is justifiable. He is not bound to go'on and expend money for his client without being secured. The cases cited show merely, that the court will compel an attorney to do his duty; but it is not his duty to expend money for his client without being reimbursed.

¶2Rule refused.
