HOOD, Associate Judge.
Appellants, members of the Bar, were counsel for Mrs. Williams in an action by her for a divorce. Before the action was reached for trial Mrs. Williams died. Thereafter appellants filed a motion to compel Mr. Williams to pay them counsel fees for services rendered in the action prior to the death of their client. The trial court ruled that it had no power to grant the relief requested; and we think it was correct in so ruling.
