In a separation action, judgment modified on the law by striking therefrom the sixth ordering paragraph relating to payment of a counsel fee. As so modified, the judgment is unanimously affirmed, without costs. The allowance for counsel fee was improperly incorporated in the judgment because it is remuneration for past services.
