        "text": "Mr. Justice Brown\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nThe defendant in error, Henry Levy, sued the plaintiff in error, Isaac Rosenblum, in the Municipal Court of Chicago for professional services as a lawyer rendered by him to Rosenblum and for money lent by him to Rosenblum, and secured a verdict from a jury and a judgment by the court on the verdict for $61.\nNeither the services nor the loan is denied in the argument here, but the plaintiff in error complains of the judgment because, as he says, there was a nonjoinder of plaintiffs below, inasmuch as one Leon Hornstein \u201cjointly entered into the performance of services in connection with the case of Rosenblum v. Chicago Union Traction Company, and if the defendant (plaintiff in error) is liable at all, he is liable to the two attorneys.\u201d\nOn this ground he implies in his argument in this court he asked the trial judge to instruct the jury to find the issues for the defendant and moved the court after the verdict in arrest of judgment. The denial of this request and motion he assigns for error.\nThere is no suggestion in the stenographic report of the evidence and proceedings in the Municipal Court that any such point of non-joinder was made in that court. The defendant Rosenblum contented himself with denying any contract for services and even that he ever had a suit against the Chicago Union Traction Co. or ever borrowed any money for costs. He said he never had any conversation about any case of his with Levy and Hornstein, although Mr. Hornstein had sworn to one in detail.\nCounsel for plaintiff in error, however, bases his argument here on the testimony of Hornstein and of Levy himself, for the defendant in error. But that evidence is all consistent with the evident theory on which the plaintiff was prosecuting the claim, namely, that the contract for services and the arrangements about the loan were between Rosenblum and Levy, and that Hornstein was merely called in to assist Levy. The compensation of Hornstein in that case would come from Levy.\nHornstein testified that he said in an interview between himself and Levy and Rosenblum that if Levy saw fit to make such ah arrangement as was proposed, he, Hornstein, would assist Levy, if he wanted, later on, and, repudiating the assumption contained in a question of defendant\u2019s counsel that \u201cthe agreement was that Rosenblum would pay him (Hornstein) one-third of the net proceeds of the suit,\u201d said, \u201cThat was not to me,\u2014he made that arrangement with Levy.\u201d\nWe see no reason for disturbing the judgment of the Municipal Court, which is affirmed.\nAffirmed.",
