9.  A  suit  was  instituted  by  persons  entitled
in  remainder  against  the  executrix  (who
was  also  the  tenant  for  life)  for  the  ad-
ministration of  the  estate.  The  execu-
trix died  pending  tbe  suit,  and  her  soli-
citor claimed  a  hen  for  his  costs  on  deeds
relating  to  leaseholds  which  had  been

? laced  in  his  hands  by  the  executrix,
'he  Master  of  the  Rolls  was  of  opinion
that,  independently  of  the  suit,  the  exeeu*
triz.could  give  no  lien  as  against^those  in
remainder  for  costs  for  which  she  was  per-
sonally liable,  and  that,  in  the  suit,  the
costs  had  been  lost  by  the  abatement  and
therefore  that  no  lien  existed.  But  the
Lords  Justices  considered,  that  the  soli-
citor's lien  depended  on  whether  the  ex-
ecutrix was  or  not  indebted  to  the  estate,
and  they  put  this  in  a  train  of  investiga-
tion.   Ibid,

not  relieve  him  from  the  necessity  of  pro-
ducing them  for  the  purposes  of  evidence
at  the  instance  of  third  parties.  Hope  ▼•
