Syllabus

<p>Guardian and ward — Trusts and trustees — Removal of guardian — Removal of trustee.</p> <p>A testamentary trustee who was also guardian of testator’s minor child, will be removed where it appears that lie lost three years’ rent of premises through imprudent indulgence of tenants; that he resisted a suit by which the sum of $1,413 was found to be in his hands, belonging to the estate of a sister of the minor, in which the minor had an ultimate interest; that he made no attempt to invest the sum of $1,176 belonging to his ward, but with which he had erroneously debited himself in his account as trustee; and that after having been ordered by the court to transfer this amount to his account as guardian he denied before the examiner that he was accountable in that capacity.</p>
