Vanarsdale v. Richards
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 12, 1836
1 Whart. 408; 1836 Pa. LEXIS 209

Vanarsdale v. Richards

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The trust involved in this assignment, is peculiarly a subject of equitable cognizance; and though an actual want of chancery powers might compel us to sustain an action at law in the first instance, it does not follow, that a cestui que trust shall not *410be thrown on his equitable resources, where such have been provided for him. We consider the point to have been already decided.

Mr. Randall took nothing by his motion.
