The subscription list is annexed to the petition, *448and affidavits are presented showing that the subscribers are severally worth the respective sums set opposite to their names.

This we deem a compliance with the statute of April 20th, 1850, and an order will therefore be entered, declaring the trustees named in the petition duly incorporated under the name and style of β€œThe President and Board of Trustees of the California Wesleyan College,” with all the powers, rights and franchises conferred by that Act.
