WON BY THE CHURCH
THE MooRE-STREer CONTROVERSY
DECIDED IN FAVOR OF BAPTlSTS.
The suit Dismissed by Judge Barton and
the Compromise with tho Indus
trial school Confirmed.

The controversy that has existed for
number of years between the Moore
Street Industrial School and the Moore
Street Missionary Baptist church over the
school and church property located on the
thoroughfare bearing this name was settled
yesterday by decision rendered in favor
of the trustees of the church by Judge
Barton, who is holding O special term OF
the Henrico Circuit Court for Judge Well
ford.
This has been long fight and hard
one, and rs the property is very valuable
and the parties interested on the respec-
tive sides quite numerous. it has for some
years past attracted much attention. and
of diiferen. intervals has been very warm
and animated.
THE QUESTION AT ISSUE.
The question arose over the purchase
made some years since of the property in
DISPUTE and which was conveyed to the
trustees of the church. The property was
paid for. as was claimed, by money raised
by John Oliver, of this city prominent
colored man, who travelled North and
succeeded in raising quite large amount.
and 1t was insisted that he was travelling
Is an agent for the school and not the
titled 10 the property.
This proposition was controverted by
the church. and some years ago conpro-
mise was effected and partition of the
property was made between the church
and the school, Subsequently bill was
filed by Messrs. John b. Clarke, William
i. Clyde. and other contributors of the
funds seeking TO set aside this partition
and claiming the whole property.
THE COURTS DECISION.
The decision of Judge Barton is in effect
TO dismiss the suit brought against the
church trustees. and to confirm IN the
trustees of the church and of the school
the property as mentioned by them, re-
spectively, ard which each received by
the compromise and partition deed before
mentioned.
COUNSEL IN THE CASE.
The case has been a very hotly-contested
one. The late Colonel John B. Young in
his lifetime represented the church, and
since his death it has been represented by
Judges A. l.. Holiday and Edmond Wad-
dill. Jr,, end the school has been repre-
sented bv the late Judge +. A. FitZhugh
and latterly by Hon. Edgar Allen and j.
Samuel Parrish, ESQ. Much interest is
felt in the termination Of the litigation, as
1t is thought that it has had necessarily n
tendency to retard the growth of both the
church and school.
