Opinion

December 12, 1968

Judgment unanimously modified on the law and the facts and in the exercise of discretion, to the extent of reducing the award to plaintiff of an additional counsel fee to the sum of $10,000, and otherwise the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements to either party. Under the circumstances, the award of additional counsel fee was excessive and in our opinion an award of $10,000 would be more appropriate.
