Decision in the Hopkins Case.
The Court of Appeals Friday
handed down its opinion in the case
of Rev. Frederick S. Hipkins VS.. Z.
IL. Bartlett and others, reversing
the order of the lower court and
dismissing the bill.
1t will be remembered that on
July II, 1891, Rev. Hipkins filed
bill and obtained an injunction to
prevent DR.. Bartlett and others,
vestrymen of st. Matthews church
Oakland, from interfering with him
in the discharge of his duties as
pastor, and on July IS. 1891, Judge
Hoffman filed an opinion and passed
decree making the injunction
permanent.
From the decree the vestry ap-
pealed and the reversal sustains the
contention of the vestry and will
result in the removal of Mr.. Hipkins
from the church.
The case was argued by James
W. Thomas, of Cumberland, and
Ex-Governor Whyte and Henry
Wise Garnett, of Washington, on
the part of the vestry, and by Mess.
Wyate and Rich, of Baltimore, and
&. S. Hamill and r. II. Semms, on
the part of the Rev. Hipkins.

usually for fantastic purposes, or, as IN the
case of Quilp, a, symbol Of moral base
