Nolde’s Appeal.
    An appeal from the action of the court discharging a rule to show cause why appellants’ bond, as trustees of The Seventh-Day Baptists of Ephrata, should not be approved, and making absolute a rule to show cause why the bond of appellees, as trustees of said society, and approving the bond of the appellants as trustees of this religious society, under the special Acts of Feb. 2i, 1814, and Feb. 10, 1865, was quashed.
    May 15, 1888.
    May 15, 1888.
    Appeal, No. 74, Jan. 7, 1888, by Lorenz Nolde, William Madlem and David King, as trustees of the Seventh-Day Baptists of Ephrata, from the decree of O. C. Lancaster Co., discharging a rule to show cause why the bond of appellants, as such trustees, should not be approved; and at the same time approving the bonds and making absolute a rule to show cause why the bonds of A. F. Madlem, J. J. R. Zerfass and Timothy Konigmacher, appellees, as trustees of said society, should not be approved. Trunkey, J., absent.
    After the election of Jan. 3, 1887, recited in the supplemental bill/ preceding case, these appellants took a rule to show cause why their bonds should not be approved. At the same time, the appellees took a similar rule for the approval of their bond. On Sept. 26, 1887, the court discharged appellants’ rule and made the rule of the appellees absolute.
    
      The assignments of error specified the action of the court, 1, in discharging appellants’ rule; 2, in making absolute appellees’ rule, and in approving their bond; 3, in not decreeing appellants the duly elected trustees, and in not approving their bond.
    The court did not hear argument, but counsel for appellees, in their paper-book, argued that no appeal would lie.
   The Court,

Writ quashed.
