Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment after modifying it to reduce the plaintiff's award by $468.40. It held that the husband is not liable for attorney fees in excess of the court‑ordered award, that the contempt fine is not subject to a lien for counsel fees, and that the attorney retains a lien for money he loaned the wife for her support.
