TRUSTS, § 220 — fees, right of trustee and attorney. Court had jurisdiction to award fees to trustee and his attorney, where it retained jurisdiction over the trust after construing an ambiguity in the will and giving directions to trustees, all necessary parties were served, master's fees could not be reviewed where matter had not been submitted to chancellor, $11,500 as attorneys fees were not excessive where defendant's attorney conceded that $10,000 would be a fair fee, and trustee who performed extensive services over a period of 10 years in operating Riverview Amusement Park, the chief asset of the trust, was properly allowed fees of $50,000, even though fees had previously been allowed the corporate cotrustee.
