SOLICITORS (IRELAND) ACT 1849 - SECT 4

Taxation of bills chargeable on trustees, executors, &c.

4. It shall be lawful, in any case in which a trustee, executor, or
administrator has become chargeable with any such bill as aforesaid, for the
Lord High Chancellor or the Master of the Rolls, if in his discretion he shall
think fit, upon the application of a party interested in the property out of
which such trustee, executor, or administrator may have paid or been entitled
to pay such bill, to refer the same, and such solicitor's, or executor's,
administrator's, or assignee's demand thereupon, to be taxed and settled by
the proper officer of the High Court of Chancery, with such directions and
subject to such conditions as such judge shall think fit, and to make such
order as such judge shall think fit for the payment of what may be found due,
and of the costs of such reference, to or by such solicitor, or the executor,
administrator, or assignee of such solicitor, by or to the party making such
application, having regard to the provisions herein contained relative to
applications for the like purpose by the party chargeable with such bill, so
far as the same shall be applicable to such cases; and in exercising such
discretion as aforesaid the said judge may take into consideration the extent
and nature of the interest of the party making the application: Provided
always, that where any money shall be so directed to be paid by such
solicitor, or the executor, administrator, or assignee of such solicitor, it
shall be lawful for such judge, if he shall think fit, to order the same or
any part thereof to be paid to such trustee, executor, or administrator so
chargeable with such bill, instead of being paid to the party making such
application; and when the party making such application shall pay any money to
such solicitor, or executor, administrator, or assignee of such solicitor, in
respect of such bill, he shall have the same right to be paid by such trustee,
executor, or administrator so chargeable with such bill as such solicitor, or
executor, administrator, or assignee of such solicitor, had.
