“This statute would serve no purpose if the appeal must be served in the same manner as ordinary civil process. Section [45a-192] governs the present situation. A probate appeal is taken from and allowed by a Probate Court. . . These circumstances distinguish probate appeals from actions of which the Superior Court has original jurisdiction, as regards the service of process. . .The special provision as to notice of appeals from probate in [§ 45a-192] distinguishes them in this respect from ordinary civil process.”
