Racie Horn, Respondent, v. Pasquale Pasquarella et al., Appellants.
    Supreme Court, Appellate Term, Second Department,
    May 20, 1958.
    
      
      Frank Carletta for appellants.
    
      Theodore Brooks for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

The amount awarded as a counsel fee was excessive under the circumstances.

The judgment should be unanimously modified on the facts by reducing the counsel fee to $100 and the total recovery, inclusive of such counsel fee, to $218.20, with appropriate costs in the court below, and as so modified affirmed, without costs of this appeal to either party.

Concur — Pette, Hart and Brown, JJ.
