Opinion

In the Matter of the Estate of Clara A. Harmon, Deceased. Leora M. Walczak et al., Respondents; Bank of Gouverneur, Appellant. (And Two Other Proceedings.) [MAJORITY — Memorandum by the Court.] Memorandum by the Court. Appeals from orders of the Surrogate’s Court of St. Lawrence County, entered April 7, 1967, April 21, 1967 and May 23, 1967, which vacated demands for jury trials made by respondents. Under all the circumstances, including the protracted and unnecessary delays, we find the Surrogate’s discretion was properly exercised. Orders affirmed, without costs. Gibson, P. J., Herlihy, Reynolds, Aulisi and Staley, Jr., JJ., concur in memorandum by the court.
