Dashiell v. Attorney General green

1961As was pointed out in Fletcher v. Safe Deposit & Trust Co., 193 Md. 400 , 67 A. 2d 386 (1949), and again in Loats Female Orphan Asylum v. Essom, 220 Md. 11 , 150 A. 2d 742 (1959), this situation was the result of the rejection by this Court of the statute of charitable uses (43 Eliz., ch. 4) in Dashiell v. Attorney General, 5 H. & J. 392 (1822).

1912But the objections to this are: First, that wo have not here the technical charitable trust as defined by Mr. Justice Gray in Jackson v. Phillips, 14 Allen, 556 , and, second, that the Statute of 43d Elizabeth is not and never has been in force in the State of Maryland; Dashiell v. Attorney General, 5 H. & J. 392 ; Halsey v. The Convention, 7 5 Md. 275 .
