The long awaited decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Andover case has been
made, and 1t will prove a disappointment
to those who had hoped that, whichever
way the decision might be given, it would
be detei minative of the principles involv.
ed, so far, at least, as they are properly
a subject for judicial settlement. But the
decision, which in effect sustains Prof.
Smyth in his position, does not touch any
of the merits Of the case, but turns alto
gether upon technical point, This point
is whether the Visitors were justified in
refusing the Trustees a share III the trial
of Prof. Smyth; and upon this point the
full Bench, Chief Justice Field dissent
ing, is of the opinion that the Visitors
exceeded their powers. II is hardly like
ly that this will be the end Of this celebra-
ted case
