Townsend v. Townsend

Edward S. Townsend’s account as guardian of his son Charles E. S. Townsend, covered the period from the beginning of the guardianship in April, 1904, until Charles became of age in May, 1919. His account as guardian of his son Newell C. Townsend was from April, 1904, to July 15, 1920. The Probate Court disallowed the item in each account of an alleged purchase in June, 1911, of twenty shares of the stock of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad; and charged the guardian with the purchase price and interest. The court also reduced the guardian’s fees from $500 to $250 on each account.…
