    The fund was settled for specified purposes and remains trust property; the applicant-solicitor cannot apply set-off or a solicitor's lien to the fund or to the portion apportioned to the 1st Claimant unless the claimant consents or there is a court order sanctioning it; the interpleader order had finally apportioned and disposed of the fund so the court would not make the supplemental orders sought by the 1st Claimant beyond implementing the existing order.
