COUNSEL
Addison Brown for the appellant. Plaintiff was authorized to employ help and pay for necessary services for the protection and benefit of the estate. ( Hill v. Trustees, 28
Page 474
N.Y. 673; 47 Id., 366; 17 Barb., 391; Noyes v. Blankman, 6 N.Y. 569; Col. Ins. Co. v. Stevens, 37 Id., 536; 41 Id., 325.) It was a proper counter-claim. (43 N.Y. 419; 48 Id., 674.) No objection to the form of the pleadings can be first taken here. ( Waddell v. Darling, 51 N.Y. 327, 333; Jackson v. Van Slyke, 52 Id., 645; McKnight v. Develin, Id., 399.)

Stat. at Large, 114; In re Van Allen, 37 Barb., 225.) The claim is against plaintiff individually, not on the trust funds. ( Bowman v. Tallman, 2 Robt., 385; S. C., 41 N.Y. 619; Ferrin v. Myrick, 41 Id., 315; Mygatt v. Wilcox, 45 Id., 306; Noyes v. Blakeman, 6 Id., 580; Austin v. Munro, 47 Id., 360; Bloodgood v. Sears, 64 Barb., 71; 2 Williams' Exrs., 1510; Myer et al. v. Cole, 12 J. R., 349.) The plaintiff is but an agent of the comptroller of the currency. ( Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 500.)
