p~oration having. before the Revolutionary War,
received certain grants OF land from the Crown
in the city Of New York. had those grants con-
hrmed by various acts Of the Legislature after
the achievement Of independence. They con-
sisted Of lots OF ground in the neighborhood of
the park and st. Pauls Church. and some acres
In the vicinity OF st. Johns Park. In the early
period Of the history Of this city those grants
were not esteemed very valuable, and many
were leased for a hundred years. at a mere nom.
inal rent. With the improvements. however, in
the city and the expiration of leases the lots
have become very valuable. and the corporation
adopted the plan Of leasing to tenants in posses
sion. charging 5 per cent. per annum on the
value of the lot. They also gave several lots to
Episcopal churches to raise revenue for their
pastors; and. generally speaking. Trinity Church
Is considerable liberal, but the churches to whom
lots have been given are hard customers. Sew
eral attempts have been made to set aside the
grants, and various heirs OF estates have COM
menced suits. but with no apparent success.
All our courts of law have sustained the validity
Of church titles. which. IL lots are valued at
what they will bring. is as good real estate as
lots in fee. Trinity Church. in addition TO lay
ing out $500, 900 on a new church. Is liberal In
erecting other places Of Episcopal worship.
