168 A. 304 (N.J. 1933)

Opinion

Argued May 25th, 1933.

Decided September 27th, 1933.

Appellants not having raised the question of a lien awarded to the co-appellant on the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged premises, the question is not before this court on appeal.

On appeal from the court of chancery, whose opinion is reported in 112 N.J. Eq. 505.

Mr. Joseph T. Lieblich, for the appellants.

Mr. Arthur T. Vanderbilt, for the respondents.


The decree will be affirmed, for the reasons stated in the opinion below.

We express no opinion upon the propriety of the award to appellant Lieblich, of a lien on the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged premises, for attorney's services rendered to his co-appellants, Emanuel Artale and Mamie Artale. The latter have not raised the question, and it is therefore not before us.

For affirmance — THE CHIEF-JUSTICE, TRENCHARD, PARKER, CASE, BODINE, DONGES, HEHER, PERSKIE, VAN BUSKIRK, KAYS, HETFIELD, DEAR, WELLS, DILL, JJ. 14.

For reversal — None.
