Bogardus and others vs. Trinity Church.

Headnote

This was an appeal from chancery. See case and opinion of chancellor, 4 Paige’s Ch. R. 178, et seq.

The cause was argued here by

G. Sullivan, for the appellants.

H. R. Storrs 8f B. F. Butler, (attorney general of the U. S.) for the respondents.

Chief Justice Savage read an opinion, in which he came to the conclusion that there was no error in the decree of the chancellor: either as to the matters of form passed upon by him, or upon the merits of the case, and that therefore the decree ought to be affirmed. Whereupon the decree of the chancellor was affirmed; 15 for affirmance, 4 for reversal.
