Note

• Trial on a writ of quo warranto in the Supreme Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, at nisi prius, March 1839, and motion for a new trial.
• "The simple question ... in deciding upon this case, is, whether certain persons, the relators in the suit, have been duly elected to fill the office of trustees of the General Assembly ... The determination of the formal issue depends, altogether, upon the decision of another question ... viz: which of two bodies that met in 1838, each claiming the title, was, in fact, the true General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church." --p. 226-227.
