Abigail H. Bishop, Plaintiff, v. James C. Bishop, Defendant. In the Matter of the Application of James C. Bishop, Appellant, to Modify the Final Judgment Herein in Respect to the Amount of Alimony Awarded Thereby; Abigail H. Bishop, Respondent.
    Appeal from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, entered on the 9th day of October, 1914, as granted counsel fee, etc.
   Per Curiam:

The court had no power to grant counsel fee after a final judgment dissolving the marriage. (See Lake v. Lake, 194 N. Y. 179.) It follows that so much of the order as is appealed from should be reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements. Present—Ingraham, P. J., McLaughlin, Scott, Dowling and Hotchkiss, JJ. Order so far as appealed from reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
