Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The portions of the judgment under review are affirmed substantially for the reasons expressed by Judge Gruccio in his opinion reported at 143 N. J. Super. 168 (Ch. Div. 1976).
Appellants' request for an allowance of counsel fees on the appeal is denied. They may, of course, apply for a counsel fee in the trial court when there is "a fund in court" out of which the same may be allowed. See R. 4:42-9(a) (2). No costs to any party on the appeal.
