Right of Property
Right of Property, Civil Rights
From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Right of Property, Civil Rights (1): Where there are several church tribunals one above another, when the highest tribunal having jurisdiction of the case has decided a question as to the right of property, a civil court will accept such decision of the church tribunal as conclusive.375 The courts give way to the usages and regulations of the church so far as they are not inconsistent with the constitution and laws of the State.376 As far as civil rights are concerned, the statute of limitations may be pleaded even where those rights are founded upon some law or rule of the denomination.377
