In Re the Trust Estate of Collins

On petition of the trustor, Erastus C. Collins, filed June 8, 1944, the circuit court of Henry County, on same day petition was filed, appointed Thornton Jennings successor trustee of the trust created by Collins. I.E. Gaskill claimed that he was trustee and on September 6, 1944, filed motion to set aside the appointment of Jennings; the motion was overruled and Gaskill appealed. Jurisdiction of the appeal is in the supreme court because the construction of the due process clause of the Constitution is involved. See Art. 6, Sec. 12, Const. 1875. Amendment of 1884, Art. 5, Sec. 3, Const. 1945.
