'PRESBYTERY LOST
Vice Chancellor Pitney De-
eide in Favor Of the
McKenzies in Scotch
Church Case.


vice-Chancellor Pitney yesterday
handed down decision in the contre-
versy between the heirs of the late
George r. Mckenzie an dthe trustees
of the Jersey City Presbytery over the
disposition of the $4,000 secured by the
sale of the old Scotch Presbyterian
Church on Mercer street.
The decision was in favor of the heirs
1t specified that the funds of the sale
of the old church could not be used, as
proposed by the Presbytery, to pay on
the debt of other churches, but should
be used, as the deceased millionaire in
tended, for church without instrumental
music. The yice-Chancellor, however,
calls attention to the fact that the-case
is an important one and hopes that the
Presbytery will take the case to the
Court Of Appeals.
The law firm of Bedle, Edwards &
Thompson represented the Mckenzie
heirs and Collins & Corbin appeared for
the Presbytery.
The case is one of long standing, and
its outcome has been watched for with
interest by church people of this city. 1t
was the intention of the Presbytery, in
the event of the suit being decided
against the heirs, to use the money to
pay off the debt on number of churches
in the city which are in need of assist
ance. The heirs of the Mckenzie estate
objected, not because they wanted the
money to revert to the estate, but because
they desired that the money should be
used in compliance with Mr.. McKenzie's
will.
The church was built ih 1866. and was
decided to the trustees by Mr.. Mckenzie
in 1885. Mr. Mckenzie stated in the
bill of sale that no instrumental music
should be permitted in the church. He
died in 1895. The church property was
bought in 1900 by the Swedish Lutheg-
an Church for $4,000.
