        "text": "Mr. Presiding Justice Vickers\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nAppellee made an arrangement with appellant, an attorney at law, to collect for him, appellee, a sum of money from an estate, and received from appellant the following receipt:\n\u201cBeceived of W. T. Jones, one Belease for $188.08 -Dollars, which amount, less $5 for Atty. fees, is to be paid to W. T. Jones in Isaac Coriell, dee\u2019d estate, Warren Co., New Jersey.\nA. Jacobson, Atty.\u201d\nAppellant collected the money, but refused to pay any of it to appellee, whereupon suit was brought.\nUpon the trial appellant asked leave to introduce evidence tending to show that appellee had by misrepresentation and fraud obtained an assignment of the claim which he, appellant, had collected and received $188.08 upon. Appellant did not claim that he had paid over any of the money by him collected, or had any right thereto, but insisted that certain persons had notified him that appellee had no right to the money and asked him, appellant, not to pay the same to appellee. This evidence the court refused to admit. The defense attempted to be set up by appellant was baseless. If the money received by appellant under his employment as an attorney belongs to other parties, it is for them to proceed against appellee, and it is not for appellant, who, under his employment as an attorney, has collected this money, to refuse to pay it oyer to his client. Appellant made no pretense that as between him and appellee he ought not to pay over this money. He endeavored to set up an alleged fraud perpetrated by appellee upon persons in no way or wise parties to the transaction between appellant and appellee, and who are not parties to this suit.\nThe judgment of the County Court is affirmed.\nAffirmed.",
