Syllabus

<p>Attorney at law — Suit for services — Quantum meruit — Impossibility of performance of contract.</p> <p>Where a client has employed an attorney at law under an agreement by which the latter should have fifty per cent of any amount claimed as credit by an accountant which should be disallowed by the orphans’ court, and the client renders the performance of the contract impossible by withdrawing at the audit all objections to the account, the attorney may recover on a quantum meruit a proper amount for the services which he has rendered.</p>
