Robert P. Lister et al., complainants and respondents, v. William R. Weeks, executor and trustee, defendant and appellant.
    [Filed November 19th, 1900.]
    On appeal from a decree advised by Vice-Chancellor Stevens, whose opinion is reported in 15 Dick. Gh. Rep. 215.
    
    
      Mr. Charles L. Corbinj for the appellant.
    
      Mr. Ghauncey G. Parker and Mr. Robert E. McCarter, for the respondents.
   Per .Curiam.

The decree appealed from removed appellant from his position as trustee under the will of Edwin Lister, deceased. While a trustee selected by a testator should not be removed except upon satisfactory proofs, the examination of the proofs has not led us to the view that the conclusion reached therein by Vice-Chancellor Stevens, who advised the decree, was so erroneous as to require reversal. The decree will, therefore, be affirmed, on the grounds stated by him in his opinion.

For affirmance — Ti-ie Chancellor, Chiee-Justice, Van Syckel, Dixon, Collins, Port, G-arretson, Hendrickson, Bogert, Adams, Vredenburgh, Voorhees—12.

For reversal—None.
