WEES COUNSEL
 FEES HIT SNAC
Unusual Question Arises in Superior Court Case Here
 This Morning

Can wife obtain counsel fees from her husband to defend a civil action he has instituted against her? The question arose in superior court today when Atty, Albert B, dardella of Ansonia, attorney for Mrs. Anna Tarby of Ansonia, ap- peared before Judge John Rufus Booth and asked for an allowance to defend the litigation brought against his client by her husband, Leon Tarby, an inmate at the New town State hospital.
 Atty. Michael V. Blansfield, coun- sel for the plaintiff pointed out that according to statute Q woman who Is being sued for divorce may obtain an allowance for defense from her husband, but no reference Is made for such procedure in e civil acc ton. The defense counsel agreed to file Q brief of references on the issue,
 Apparently referring to the plain tiffs alleged "illegal forced con- finement" in an insane asylum, Mir, Blansfield stated tacetiously, "al- though the parties arc substantially divorced this really Is not a divorce action."
 The plaintiff who Is 63 years old claims in his complaint that his wife illegally caused him to be con- fined to institutions for the insane and transferred title to property she held In trust for him to five sons and two daughters. He also al- leges conservator over his estate was obtained by fraud and oeceit. MT. Blansfield state today the de- fendant appeared to have sufficient property to be. able to face defense fees herself.
