to the Court to obtain a charging order thereon
under section 69 o f the Solicitors Act, 1932, which
is similar to section 3 o f the Legal Practitioners
(Ireland) Act, 1876. The court made the garnishee
order absolute without reference to the solicitor’s
lien for costs. On appeal, it was held that a solicitor
has a lien on property which is in his possession,
and where a sum o f money is recovered through
his professional exertions he does not obtain a
charge on the money for his costs, but merely
the right to apply to the court for such a charge.
As the solicitor had not applied for a charging
order before the application to have the garnishee
order made absolute, he was not entitled to an
inquiry as to the amount due to h im ; and the
judgment creditors were entitled to have the
garnishee order made absolute.
