PER CURIAM.
The order appealed from should be modified, by striking out the provision for a reference, and by providing that the papers shall be delivered up to the petitioner upon payment by her of the sum of $1,500, or upon the giving by her of a bond in the sum of $3,000, to be approved by the court, conditioned for the payment of any sum which may be awarded to the attorney in any action or proceeding to establish his claim to compensation. As so modified, the order should be affirmed, without costs.
