Sherman, counsel for Harrison, that there would be no defense made to Mrs. Harri- son's plea for a separation from her husband; that therefore the only ques- tlon before the court was to fix the amount of alimony and counsel fees. The justice will decide in a few days whether he will refer the question to a referee or himself fix,the amount. Mrs. Harrison has appealed for $250 weekly temporary alimony and $10,000 counsel fees.
