Superior Court-Civil Side-Judge Prem
tice.
Judge Prentice in the superior court
Yesterday morning handed down a de-
cision granting the motion of the plain
tiffs in the suit of the Trustees of Do
nations and Requests of the Episcopal
church against Christ Episcopal church
of this city. The motion asked that
the defendant be refused permission to
file cross complaint in the suit, and
requested that judgment be rendered
in the suit In accordance with the de-
cision of the supreme court. Charles
HI. Fowler, counsel for Christ church,
who is now in Chicago attending the
national democratic convention, left
word with his clerk to file notice of ap-
peal in case the motion was granted,
| so that the matter will probably now
| be carried to the supreme court again.
| The litigation between the church
| and Trustees of Donations and Be-
| quests has been going on for the past
| year. Christ church first sued the
Trustees of Donations and Requests,
asking for a reconveyance to them of
a deed OF their property on Broadway,
which was given to the trustees as Sc
| curity for $1,000 which Christ church
borrowed from Trinity church to pay a
! debt.
| In granting the motion refusing to
allow the cross complaint to be filed,
| Judge Prentice says: 1.-THE defendant
has once chosen it's position and fought
| the case through to the supreme court.
| Having met defeat, it now seeks to
make the contest over again, and for
the purpose of so doing asks to file a
| new cross complaint, which not only
takes a new position, but is diametri-
! ca1ly antagonistic in both substance
| and allegation to it's former allegations
and to the express findings of this
court Such procedure cannot be per
mitted The within motion is granted"
