SMITH et al. v. PRATT CONSOLIDATED COAL CO. et al., 164 F. 1023

PER CURIAM. The question involved in this case is whether sufficient compensation has been allowed lawyers who successfully conducted a litigation which brought into the hands of the trustee in bankruptcy a large sum of money for distribution among creditors. Tbe referee heard evidence and allowed 86,000. On review the District Judge, on the same and more evidence, reduced the allowance to $3,600. Under the evidence in the transcript, we are not prepared to say that either allowance was so far erroneous as to warrant a reversal. The decree of the District Court is affirmed.
