Opinion

Parsons, C. J.

As the plaintiff does not occupy a fiduciary position entitling him for his protection to the prospective decision of questions that may arise under the will, and as the defendant, whom the plaintiff claims does occupy such a position, does not desire, but objects to, their present determination by way of advice to him, there is no ground upon which the court may lawfully advise the parties.
