    "head_matter": "Berney B. Borg for use of Otto Miller, Appellant, v. Kawin & Company, Garnishee. Walter J. Miller, Petitioner, Appellee.\nGen. No. 19,800.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Edward T. Wade, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1913.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed December 21, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nOtto Miller brought a garnishment suit on a judgment had by him against Berney B. Borg, summons being served on Kawin & Company as garnishee. The garnishee was indebted to Borg in the sum of $1,100, which was the amount of the verdict in a suit brought by Borg against Kawin & Company, in which Borg was represented by Walter Miller, an attorney. Walter Miller filed an intervening petition in this garnishment proceeding, claiming a lien on the amount recovered because of a contract whereby Borg was to pay him one-sixth of the amount realized for his services. A copy of such contract with a notice of a claim for attorney\u2019s lien was served on Kawin & Company in compliance with the statute (Hurd\u2019s Bev. St., cli. 82, \u00a7 55, J. & A. 611). On the trial the court sustained the claim for lien and ordered the sum of $183.33, the amount awarded to the attorney, to be paid into court until its further order, and judgment was entered for the plaintiff for the balance of the fund owing from the garnishee. From such judgment the plaintiff appealed.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Attorney and client, \u00a7 138 \u2014when attorney is entitled to lien. An attorney who has complied with the statute (Hurd\u2019s Rev. St., ch. 82, \u00a7 55, J. & A. f 611) is entitled to a lien for his services.\n2. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1214*\u2014when appellant cannot complain of action of lower court. An appellant who is not affected by an order requiring a sum due an attorney to be paid into court until its further order cannot complain of such order. \u25a0\n3. Attorney and client. \u00a7 150*\u2014what order in reference to lien may he entered. A court in the exercise of its equitable powers in adjudicating an attorney\u2019s lien may properly order the amount due such attorney to be paid into court until its further order.\nCharles G. Rose and Ringer, Wilhartz & Louer, for appellant.\nWalter J. Miller and Walter L. Wenger, for petitioner.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
