    "head_matter": "Burton A. Hitchcock, Executor, Appellee, v. Board of Home Missions et al., Appellants.\nGen. No. 6,111.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Peoria county; the Hon. Theodore N. Green, Judge, Presiding.\nHeard in this court at the April term, 1915.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed October 20, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Burton A. Hitchcock, executor, plaintiff, against the Board of Home Missions, and the Troy Orphan Asylum, defendant, in the Circuit Court of Peoria county.\nThis case has been before this court before (Hitchcock v. Board of Home Missions, 175 Ill. App. 87) and before the Supreme Court on appeal from this court (Hitchcock v. Board of Home Missions, 259 Ill. 288). The Circuit Court had refused to allow solicitor\u2019s fees to the Troy Orphan Asylum, appellant here. This court held that it had erred in so doing, and the Supreme Court affirmed that part of the decision of the court and remanded the cause with directions \u201cto allow the Troy Orphan Asylum a reasonable solicitor\u2019s fee.\u201d\nAbstract of the Decision.\nCosts, \u00a7 75 \u2014when attorney\u2019s fees for services rendered on appeal properly denied by trial court upon remanding of cause. Where the Supreme Court reversed a decree In an action with mandate to allow a party \u201ca reasonable solicitor\u2019s fee,\u201d the decree of the trial court sustaining a master\u2019s report refusing to consider the value of services rendered on appeal, and allowing only a reasonable fee for services rendered prior to the decree originally appealed from, held not erroneous where nothing in the pleadings raised the question of the allowance of such fees for services rendered on appeal, for the reason that without such pleading such question could not be and was not decided in the decree appealed from by this appeal.\nAfter the cause was redocketed in the Circuit Court, proceedings were had before a master in chancery who refused to hear evidence or consider the value of attorney\u2019s services rendered to the Troy Orphan Asylum, either in the appeal to the Supreme Court or to this court, and reported the sum of $1,000 as a reasonable fee for the services rendered prior to the original decree in the Circuit Court. On objection and exception by defendant Troy Orphan Asylum to that part of the master\u2019s report which refused to consider the value of services rendered on the two appeals, the chancellor sustained the report.\nFrom a decree allowing defendant Troy Orphan Asylum an attorney\u2019s fee of $1,000 for services rendered prior to the original decree in the Circuit Court and denying such fees for services rendered on appeal, defendant Troy Orphan Asylum appeals.\nLuther C. Hinkle, for appellants.\nNo appearance for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
