Syllabus

<p>Chaeities. Bill held to show complainant had no right to enforce alleged trust.</p> <p>Where a bill in chancery to enforce an alleged trust shows that the trust, if any exist, is for the benefit of a named school, and is not brought in the name of the school, or by its trustees, but by parties living in the community who made some contributions to a fund to buy the alleged trust property for the use of the school, there is no such right in the complainant as will warrant equity in taking cognizance of the suit and rendering a decree, and where such bill is demurred to the demurrer ought to be sustained.</p>
