DIR. RUSH'S BEOUEST.

Bill OF Equity Filed In the Supreme
Court In Regard TO the site OF the
Philadelphia Library.
A bill OF equity has been fled in the Supreme
Court by Messrs. William II. Rawle, r.. c. McMur-
tile and William M. Meredith, with a view OF rails
ing the question whether the executor OF Dr. Rush
bound In conscience TO- regard the wish Of the tes
OF the Philadelphia Library. The BILL after reciting
the will of Dr. Rush, and setting forth the action OF
the company in accepting II, goes on to say:-Your
orators aver charge that the discretion given by
his executor to select site OF the intended build
ing is in the nature OF trust corporation and that
the whole tenor OF the VIII indicates that il was the
intention OF the testator to found charity which
should oe DenencisI 10 your orators. as library
and providing them a building for that purpose |;
that this general intent was clogged with no condl-
and that the power to select a site was merely Incl
dental to the execution OF that main purpose
They are advised and so submit to the Court that
all discretionary power given to the defendant by
the will and codcis of the testator In the
OF property OF your orators, inasmuch exercise
will vary and modify their rights, and will certainly
destroy or greatly impair the usefulness OF the lite
rary charity to be administered by them-that the
verbal directions of the tesaor varying the nature
of the trust and confidence reposed by him In the
defendant, and the right which your orators, as
devisees. had in the beneficial enjoyment Of the
exercise of that power, were as absolutely null and
void as those OF a stranger-hrst, by rea-
son of being made within, one month
prior to the death OF the estator and therefore void
under the statute in such case provided: and
secondly by reason OF their not being in writing and
signed Dy tne testaIOr at Ce end thereo In accord-
ance with the statute relating to Wills 1t is further
averred that the promise made by the defendant to
the tesator was wholly illegal and could not lawfully
bind the former nor be enforced against him.
what they specially ask Is that the matter be re-
ferred to amaser to inquire and report what would
be proper site and ct location for the library build
ing, to the end that the true intent OF the testator
may be carried into full force and effect An early
day will probably be set apart for the hearing
