Peters Society, in Rochester, brought a suit
against John Timon, Bishop Of Buffalo and
others, to recover their church property, then
held in fee by the Bishop. Some forty days
were occupied in taking proof before the ref
cree, as to the spiritual and legal powers Of
the Catholic clergy, and the force OF the can

Justice Selden decided all the points save one
in favor of the plaintiff
