Order denying jury issues affirmed. This is an appeal from an order of the Probate Court in the matter of the alleged will of Nellie S. Brunton, late of Boston, deceased, denying a motion of the contestant for the framing of issues for trial by jury. It is not now contended that there was error in denying the issue of due execution. With respect to the issues of sound mind and fraud or undue influence, upon consideration of the statements of expected evidence — which need not be recited — in the light of the established principles of law governing the framing of such issues and review on appeal, after action of the Probate Court on motions for the framing of such issues — which have been frequently stated and need not be restated — including recognition of the element of discretion vested in the probate judge, we conclude that there was no error in the denial of this motion.
