Heard May 20, 1986.

Decided June 16, 1986.

Thomas B. Bryant, III of Bryant, Fanning Yarborough, Orangeburg, for appellant. Charles H. Williams of Williams Williams, Orangeburg, and Richard B. Ness of Early, Kemp Ness, Bamberg, for respondent.

Heard May 20, 1986.

Decided June 16, 1986.

Per Curiam:

Appellant contends that the circuit court erred in failing to afford him a jury trial, a trial de novo, or the opportunity to introduce further evidence in his appeal from the probate court.

This Court adopts the opinion issued by the Court of Appeals in Martin v. Skinner, 286 S.C. 527, 335 S.E.2d 252 (Ct.App. 1985) in toto. That case is dispositive of the issues raised on this appeal.

Affirmed.

NESS, C.J., not participating.
