The landlord also assigns as error the awarding of $100 as counsel fee to the tenants and the awarding of $30 to the guardian ad litem for the minor defendant. So far as the first item is concerned, the statute, Code 1940, Supp. VI, 45 — 1610(a), provides for reasonable attorneys’ fees to be determined by the trial court where judgments are awarded for rent overcharges and refusal to render required services. Such a fee obviously is allowable whether the judgment results either from an original suit or from a counterclaim. The amount awarded in the present instance was within the discretion of the trial court and was not excessive. With respect to the small fee allowed to the guardian ad litem, this charge also was within the discretion of the trial court, is obviously reasonable, and was authorized by statute.1
