Commonwealth v. American Protestant Hall & Library Ass'n

Opinion of the Court

The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Common Pleas on February 2nd, 1881, in the following opinion :

Per Curiam :

Without stopping to inquire whether the relators showed a good title under the charter, we think that the by-law complained of was a reasonable one requiring only the fulfillment of charter obligations in the persons chosen as trustees, and the case falls entirely within the general principle decided in Commonwealth vs. Cain, 5 S. & R., 510.

Judgment affirmed.
