Head Matter:
Lydia G. Sollee vs. Randal Croft, et el., Executors.
A trustee allowed compensation for his personal services in going to Alabama to see after and-secure the trust property.
BEFORE DARGAN, OH., AT GREENVILLE, JULY SITTINGS, 1857.
In the report of the Commissioner upon the accounts of the ■defendant’s testator, George Croft, as trustee, six hundred dollars were allowed for the personal services of the trustee in going to Alabama, four times, to see after the property, and protect it, first, from the claims of the creditors of E. ~W. Sollee, and again from the claims of the creditors of B. M. Pearson, (see 7 Rich. Eq. 34.)
. An exception on this account was overruled by his Honor, on circuit; and the complainant appealed, on the ground, that a trustee cannot recover compensation in Equity, over and above his commissions, for his personal services — such compensation can only be recovered at law before a jury.
Sullivan, for appellant.
Perry, contra.
