Book excerpt: Excerpt from Review of the Opinion of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts: In the Case of Oliver Earle and Others, in Equity, Versus William Wood and Others; To Which Is Added, the Substance of the Argument Prepared by One of the Counsel for the Defendants The Opinion of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in the case of Oliver Earle and others against William Wood and others, having been read in this Meeting at a former sitting, was referred to a Committee for their considera tion, as a matter afi'ecting the welfare and reputation of our Religious Society, inasmuch as many of the principles therein laid down, and represented to be binding upon all our members, both as regards the discipline and doctrines of Friends, are such as have never been known or recognized by the Society; and if admitted would be subversive alike of our civil rights and religious privileges. The Committee at this time produced a Review of said Opinion, wherein some of the manifestly erroneous and dangerous views of the Court are adverted to, and their inconsistency set forth; and also the long established and unchange ahle character of the doctrines of Friends, as well as the correct principles and usages of our system of Church Government maintained, in regard to the matters under consideration - which Review has been read in and approved by this Meeting and is directed to be printed - and one of the legal counsellors employed by our Friends of Swanzey Monthly Meeting in the preparation and advocacy 'of their cause, having addressed an explanatory letter to the Committee, and also furnished them with the substance of the argument prepared by him and his colleagues in defence of the case, in an important aspect of it, in which many unquestionable authorities and milch legal evidence showing the untenable nature of the ground upon which the Opinion appears to be based, are adduced and enforced, it was concluded that it would be best to append the same to the Review. Extracted from the Minutes of the Meeting aforesaid, by harvey chace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
