Timothy 8 p. E. Church, Philadelphia between
vestry was settled on Saturday. AT the cleo
ton for vestrymen, held in March last, the
judges to count the vote and report the result
returned the high church candidates elected.
The other side brought suit In equity claiming
that four OF their people had been disfranchised
by the judges, who, at the same time, counted
in several illegal votes In the high church In
terest. A master to whom the matter was re-
ferred reversed the Judges count The case
was carried before the court OF common pleas
DAY Judge Allison, in an elaborate opinion, re-
yersed the masters action, and gave the high
churchmen the Yestrymen for 1850.
