Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the notice (the
"Notice") to be filed by CMA Money Fund, a Massachusetts business
trust (the "Fund"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. The Notice is being filed to make definite the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of
157,862,710,322 shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.10
per share, of the Fund (the "Shares") which were sold during the
Fund's fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
As counsel for the Fund, we are familiar with the
proceedings taken by it in connection with the authorization,
issuance and sale of the Shares. In addition, we have examined
and are familiar with the Declaration of Trust of the Fund, the
By-Laws of the Fund and such other documents as we have deemed
relevant to the matters referred to in this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable, except
that shareholders of the Fund may under certain circumstances be
held personally liable for the Fund's obligations.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied as to matters of
Massachusetts law upon an opinion of Bingham, Dana & Gould, LLP,
dated May 22, 1997, rendered to the Fund.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as an attachment to the
Notice.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Brown & Wood LLP
