Will dispute centers on slaveholder's will and trust
The Supreme Court heard the appeal of M. A. Stewart and wife against Charles Madden over land once owned by Letitia Robinson, a Virginia slave, with a life trust for her use. The case questions whether the Robinson trust deed remains valid against debts and an Orphans' Court sale. The verdict previously set Madden’s title, challenging the life tenant Richmond Robinson's heirs.

Executors Sustain Rusher Estate Contested Bonds
In Orphans Court Judge Hawkins sustained the executors of the late John C Rusher as Mrs. Risher’s exceptions were overruled regarding bonds bequeathed to her. The dispute centered on whether she could claim $42,000 in Pittsburg water bonds that the testator had only owned at the time the will was made. The widow released her claim, but a second account renewal prompted further objections. The court also denied a preliminary injunction in a traction company suit and listed county contract awards for bridge work.
