Superior Court Judge Howard w. Alcorn held today that the amount and times of payment to the trus- tee of an estate for his services lie in the discretion of Probate Court, and he dismissed an appeal filed by Edmund J. Brennan of Waterbury who had disputed legal fees allowed Attorney James E. Russell, as of the estate of the late Jennie E. Steele of Waterbury.
 Brennan had appealed as the re- suit of an allowance of $700 grant, ed by the Probate Court to Attor- ney Russell. He claimed during the trial conducted last month that it was the laweyrs duty as trustee to manage and sell property and that the court allowed him a sum for such management.
