Summary
The Court affirmed the order requiring the trustee to account for the unauthorized conveyance of trust property, holding that the trustee's discretionary power to apply principal does not permit a sale, that the beneficiary's consent does not overcome the statutory inalienability, and that the repeal's saving clause does not preserve any right to alienate.
