I have been unable to see how the plaintiffs have established any right to the relief which they claim in this action.
It is true that the money which was subscribed and placed in the hands of the defendants was so intrusted to them for the purpose of procuring suitable premises in which to establish a mission chapel and Sunday school, and it may be that the subscribers to that fund would have the right to say that it should not be diverted from that purpose; but it is difficult to see how any person or persons other than the contributors to the fund have any standing in court, so as to complain of the manner in which the fund is administered.
Bo person can say that they have acquired any vested right to receive the benefit of that fund, and that they shall enjoy its benefits to the exclusion of all others, or that they have succeeded to the defendants as the persons authorized to manage said fund.
It is claimed that the persons worshiping in the chapel, by having, with the consent of the trustees of the defendants, *314become incorporated, have acquired some other or greater rights than they otherwise would have had. How such rights have arisen does not clearly appear. As members of the defendant’s society they had no vested rights in this property, the sole management being in the defendants; and how, when their relationship with the defendants has ceased, such rights should have attached, except because their incorporation was with the consent of the defendants, cannot be explained. Before the incorporation of the plaintiffs, the defendants certainly could have closed these premises, and they have not in any manner surrendered their control over them. •
Further, it appears that from the time of the acquisition of this property" to the present time, the defendants have maintained in that building a mission school, the teachers and machinery of the school being supplied by the defendants, one of the very purposes for which this money was subscribed and the property bought, and by this action the plaintiffs seek to deprive the defendants of the use of any part of this building for the uses of their mission school. Although they do not ask this in so many words, yet in effect it is the same, because they do ask that the defendants may be restrained from the further occupancy of said building. In other words, they have bought and paid for the buildings for the purposes of a school, and are now to be deprived of the use of them for that purpose, because the persons whom they have allowed to worship in that building have become strong and numerous endugh to form a separate organization. This would, it seems to me, instead of carrying out the wishes of the donors, be going directly contrary to them.
This property may be trust property, but it is to be managed by the defendants as they .see- fit, only to be called to account, if by any body, by the persons who contributed the fund; certainly not by any persons who may have enjoyed the benefit of the fund.
The complaint must be dismissed.
