1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Mr. Justice Frazer,
This is an appeal by the administratrix and heirs of the estate of George H. Myers, deceased, from a decree of the Orphans’ Court dismissing exceptions to the report of an auditor awarding the sum of $25,000 to Robert S. Taylor, Esq., as a fee for services rendered in settling the estate. The questions for consideration are whether Taylor agreed to perform the services for $10,000 or had estopped himself from claiming a larger sum. If these questions are answered in the negative there is a further question whether the sum awarded is excessive.
