The following is an extract from an abstract
Of Gen. Stoneman's report:
Among the more important questions that
have presented themselves for consideration is
the Methodist Church contest. After careful
investigation and an able opinion thereon by
Judge Advocate Colonel Ell. B. Burnham it has
been deemed advisable not as yet to make an
order thereon.
The investigation shows that it embraces
many delicate questions oflaw, both statute and
ecclesiastical, and it is one General Stoneman
says, that can only be settled by a decision of
the highest civil tribunal Or by legislative enact
ment Special cases, as they have arisen, have
been settled upon the principle of recognizing
the claims of both contestants, and giving each
the right Of occupying on alternate weeks
