““If a trustee has been iavested with a discretionary power in the trust deed, the court will closely scrutinize his acts, and interfere to control his conduct whenever necessary to prevent him from so exercising his discretion as to oppress the beneficiary or cause loss to the trust property.” (26 R. C. L. 1282.)”
