finances Of the late Corporation of Lafayette, n
judgment was obtained against said Corpora
ton, and the property was Seized and sold by
by the Sheriff in satisfaction of said judgment,
at which sale the petitioner became the purcha-
ser, for SOP CO. The necessity of residence
for the Sexton in the immediate neiphborhOod Of
the Cemetery is absolutely necessary, and the
use Of the premises has besn a part Of the
