Description
McLean received Finley's letter and sent a message immediately to Judge Collet. McLean visited the judge the following day, attempting to persuade him to disallow the injunction [against removal of bodies], but the judge in his wisdom has allowed the injunction and the consequence is that Finley's proceedings must be suspended until the Supreme Court meets in Cincinnati in June. McLean thinks the Court will give a decision in Finley's favor. [Note: This appears to be about the dispute over the land occupied by the Methodist Episcopal Church of Cincinnati, which occurred after many members seceded to join with the Methodist Protestant Church. The legal case involved an injunction prohibiting the removal of bodies buried on the land. The Ohio Supreme Court took up the case in 1831, Price v. Methodist Episcopal Church, 4 Ohio 515].
