<p>Bankruptcy <®=»36S—Trustee’s Compensation—Compensation for Legau Services.</p> <p>Under Bankr. Act July 1, 1898, c. 541, § 72, 32 Stat. 800 (Comp. St. 1913, § 9056), providing that neither the referee, receiver, marshal, nor trustee shall in any form or guise receive, nor shall the court allow him, any other or further compensation for Ms services than that expressly authorized and prescribed in that act, and section 62 (section 9616), providing that the actual and necessary expenses incurred by officers in the administration of estafes shall be reported in detail under oath, and examined and approved or disapproved by the court, and, if approved, paid or allowed out of the estate, a trustee, who was an attorney, was not entitled, in addition to his fees, to compensation for legal services performed by him, especially as, when the trustee presents a claim in behalf of an attorney, there is something tantamount to a recommendation by the trustee that the services were necessarily rendered and that the fees and claim were proper, and the weakness of such recommendation respecting Ms own professional claims is apparent.</p> <p>[Ed.
