¶1We are of opinion that the authority of Mr. Clay to receive for the plaintiffs payment of the judgment in this case was sufficiently shown. And, also, that as he has given the defendants a receipt in full, and no fraud is shown or alleged, the circuit court was justified in ordering perpetual stay, and the plaintiffs must be left to their remedy against the attorney to whose care they entrusted the suit. The order will stand affirmed, with costs.
