The Chancellor

refused to allow a provision for such compensation to be inserted in the decree; saying, that the court had no jurisdiction or power to authorize the taxation in such a case of any greater amount for counsel fees than the allowance fixed by the legislature in the fee bill, and that the taxing officer could not legally be directed to allow any greater amount on taxation.
