Jones v. Renshaw
Jones v. Renshaw
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiffs in this ejectment have no title, and cannot recover under any circumstances. The premises in dispute were devised by James Jones to βthe Trustees of the First Presbyterian Church of the Northern Liberties of Pittsburgh, commonly called the Fourth Presbyterian Church,β for a charitable or religious use. The said church has ceased to exist as a religious organization, but, before its dissolution, conveyed the premises in dispute to trustees appointed by the presbytery to receive the same. We are not called upon to decide upon the regularity of this transaction. It is enough to say that the plaintiffs have no standing to call it in question. The trust
Judgment affirmed.
