Opinion:
Decree of the Surrogate's Court of Nassau county, in a proceeding under section 231-a of the Surrogate's Court Act, modified by substituting the sum of $250 in place of the sum of $500 in the recitals and the decretal paragraph thereof, and as so modified unanimously affirmed, with costs to appellants, payable out of the estate. The allowance of $500 for services rendered and disbursements is excessive. Present — Hagarty, Carswell, Johnston, Adel and Taylor, JJ.
