ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS, § 135 — proper disallowance of claim for attorney's fee and counterclaim for monies paid to him on account. In action by attorney for balance, claimed to be due him for legal services rendered in minority-stockholder's suit, wherein defendant corporation counterclaimed for return of monies paid to plaintiff on account, both claims were disallowed on appeal for reasons that plaintiff represented conflicting interests in same litigation, contrary to public policy, but was entitled to recover value of services in entering nominal appearance for defendant and formally appearing for it.
