Snell v. Trustees of the Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church

Citations

• 58 Ill. 290

Syllabus

<p>1. Subscription's—in aid of churches—where society is not incorporated— whether binding. It is no defense in a suit to enforce a subscription to aid in the building of a church, that at the time of the- subscription the society was not incorporated.</p> <p>3. Same—sufficiency of notice of withdrawal. A notice to trustees of the society, after organization, that the subscriber will not pay his subscription, unless a certain person is excluded from speaking in the church, while the proffered donation appears at the bead of the list as an unconditional subscription, is not sufficient to release the subscriber from liability.</p> <p>3. Same—when due. A subscription to be paid when the building is enclosed, is due and may be collected when the main building is enclosed, though some towers connected with the building have not been enclosed.</p> <p>4. Motions—should be preserved by bill of exceptions. An alleged error in sustaining a motion to strike a plea from the files, can not be considered in this court, unless made a part of the record by being incorporated into the bill of exceptions.</p>
